I personally do not understand that. It's not about shooting, it's about winning the lottery and investing $$ to equipment. What you need is just a 0.3MOA rifle, right caliber with good ballistic. If you make a group 0,4'' on 100y and then hit a target on 2 miles, it's about defining distance with a laser meter atmosphere parameters with meteo station. Then calculate how many clicks you need.....and some luck for "compensate wind instability.") So it’s about wind reading and your budget, but not shooting.)))
@ yeah I used to think that. I talked to the guys that shoot in those competitions and realized that there is so much more to it than that. Most excellent shooters could get one of their custom weapons and not shoot worth crap at those distances. Why, because of the laws of ballistics and thermal and wind and signs that they learn to read that most people have no clue. Even the movement of the earth in the time from point a to point b…. Many of those groups keep minute detailed data very meticulously and supply it to the military and it’s factored into their sniper training. So it’s way more than a good gun… it’s way more science at those distances. Unless your okay with 2-3 out of ten being in the vacinitt of the target. Kind of reminds me of taking to a motorcycle racer that exceeded 150 mph regularly.in the racing. He commented that the rules change at those excessive speeds.
Nice thats awesome you have a spot to do that. Farthest spot i have is 2450. I built a 300 RUM throated out for the 245’s 3170fps. I was to attempt 2 miles
AWESOME. Are you dialing onto the target with the turrets and holding a consisitent point of aim? Are you actively changing the wind hold each shot? I didn't call #4, was it a hit?
Loving this. I also have a Bergara in 300PRC; HMR, that I’m going to try and touch a mile with this year.
Nice shooting
King of the 2 mile.... have a friend that shoots that regularly... its pretty amazing when you're that far...

That is nice setup
@ i need to stretch it out to 2 miles. Its funny because inside 1000 yards it just doesn’t seem fair lol
Greetings, I bought a Bergara in 6.5 with a Vortex 6x36. Do you think 6.5 will make it out to that distance?
The longest distance I did try was 2500 yd with 6.5 Creedmoor. The only way to know is to try it.
Which factory load does your HMR like best?
AWESOME.
Are you dialing onto the target with the turrets and holding a consisitent point of aim?
Are you actively changing the wind hold each shot?
I didn't call #4, was it a hit?
I didn’t see #4 as well. Wasn’t hit. I was dialing for the elevetion , but was dialing and holding for the windage. And yes, all the time
so wait, was that a hit?
No, no hit
