I shot (and hit) a 1k target on Saturday (using a friend's LMT MWS in 6.5 Creedmoor). It really wasn't THAT hard. Get the dope figured out, get the fundamentals right, and send it. Rreading wind well still eludes me. However, within a couple rounds, I was hitting about 50%.

750 with a .223 is also not difficult.

Here's part of the problem: I only have 2 guns with a barrel longer than 16"... One is a ruger 10/22 and the other is a shotgun. Hard to send a .223 round that far (accurately) with only a 16" barrel. I don't have any experience shooting at anything past 450yds, but I would love to get a rifle that could do it, then learn to use it.

If no one grabs that Colorado Native Jersey I may be interested in taking it off your hands...

I thought I had a lot of ho posts to catch up on, but nothing really happened.

A troll started a thread and JM is back... That about sum it up?

I was hitting a 750 yd IPSC with a 16" barreled .223 AR. I guessed at my dope, then sent the round. Adjustments were made, then plugged in the data for the gun into a ballistics program (I use Nosler Ballistics for iPhone), and then start shooting.

I got about 8/10 hits at the 750 yard target. Moving back to the 500 yard target was actually pretty easy from there. I'll grow a pair and start aiming at smaller targets, but the spotter said I was within 5" at 500, so..... don't give up on yourself.

Nice. I probably need a bigger scope though. Kind of hard to see a 10" target (this is the only steel I have) at 750yds with a 2-8x scope. (Actually, that is probably more of a preference. I've seen guys hit IPSC targets at 600yds open sights.) I Wish I had a place nearby to set up and practice.

Beautiful day... Too bad I have to go in to work in an hour!
