With 168 grain amax at 7700 ft. elevation on a warm day it was easier than I thought. We ran out of elevation adjustment on the scope and were looking at the target through the bottom of the vertical stadia on the reticle, 25 mils up alltogether. We each hit a 10'' balloon on the 3rd shot at that range. Quite the experience. I've since switched my 20 moa base for a 30 though because of that. Still have alot to learn about wind.
Wow man.. where did you guys do all this if you don't mind me asking?
I've seen the snipershide vid of a guy hitting that far and I thought sh*t... lemme give 1400 yards a try.. but this was up at Pawnee and it was windier than sh*t
168gr amax... and what rifle.. with what barrel twist...? Sorry... I just excited hearing and seeing stories like this Add some pics if you can
