If I read that emunchy right. The video got you thinking. What you may not know. Here in the desert. I am shooting across fairly flat ground. The mirage can really get the target dancing. In the video the target camera shows the mirage and what it is doing. Too many people think they need really high power when shooting long range. When the target is dancing its harder to get a good hold where I want it. Also the higher the power the more it magnifys any movement I am causing in the scope. By turning it down it minimizes any movement I am causing. Which helps me relax more and further minimizes any movement I see in the scope. Also I can see those 12x18 targets all the way out to a mile and shoot at them with open sights. My pistol has a 2.5x8 scope on it and so far I have shot it out to 2200yds. To have fun shooting at long range does not require a really high power scope. NDR
OAL is about 15 20 thousands off the lands. I got my loading data from Berger you can call them up and they will give it to you. In this video I was using IMR 7828 SSC. After I shot this video down the road I really started having pressure problems. I do not know what happened. I am now using Vihtavuori N570. And much happier. I am at the same velocity and have had no problems. I was able to tune the brake where I am sub 1/2 MOA. As far as Berger data goes I am closer to the starting grain weight than what they claim is max with both powders. For my gun what they consider max is way past max for me. NDR
I wish my 25-06 had that much twist.
That’s a loooooong way.
Have you ever bumped up to A.I. or Sherman cartridge designs for those heavy .257 bullets?
No I have never gotten away from Standard cartridges.
As far as the bullets go they are a recent additions to the 25 cal line of bullets.

2000 yards with a 12 power scope huh 🤔
