Im so jealous of the land in every video. Ive always had an interest in long range shooting, I have to drive an hour to get to an area that I can get 500 yards. My rifle is just an el cheapo i found at a pawn shop, but it makes me happy.

I appreciate you are a dedicated guy who enjoys shooting and not some tactibro who stunts to look cool on Dudetube.

Average Human Head On Man Is 6-7 Inches Wide. Average Height On Man 5’9 So It Would Be Nice Sometime To See You Shoot Targets That Resembles A Full Body Silhouette. Speed #’s Effectiveness Are Acceptable Under Rapid Fire Engagements Of 2-4 Inches At 1000 Yards In Military Sniper School. Great Material & Coverage Over A Wide Spectrum. Keep It Going.

Thanks for explaining this information. I have a Kestrel 5700 Elite with a Kilo3000 laser rangefinder. Kestrel has online classes that they have talked a little bit about the information you cover in your video. Since I’m shooting my MRAD in 338 Lapua Magnum I use a 200 yard zero instead of 100 yards. I don’t like to shoot anything under 700 yards unless I’m checking out my zero again at 200 yards.

I like it Brother

Use it all the time but mainly on a slower 6.5/140 comes out to 2.3 and also on 5.56 which is right around 2.0. Instead of dialing under the whole number I dial just enough to get to 2.0 and the subtract the 2.0 from the yardage. So I can zoom a little more and not have to be all the way at the bottom of the reticle. Also wind dots stay a little truer and max point blank is on 0. Only trick is remembering to subtract the 2.0 from the yardage.

This is really interesting, never heard of this before. Where did you come across this concept and if you don’t mind me asking sir, what is your background in long range shooting? This has me excited and that’s not easy to do lol. RESPECTFULLY Jim

The 7 mm PRC 175 Grain Whoops The 6.5 PRC 143 Grain At The Muzzle. Far More Energy. Better BC & Just All Around Better Ballistics With Extremely Knowledgeable Shooting Accuracy & Of Course The More Coefficient Bullets That Rule Supreme. If I I’m Shooting In The 6 Calibers I Always Use 6 mm Arc Depending On Wind Speeds. .300 PRC Will Drop Any Game In North America Because Of Energy & Reach. So Many Factors Come Into Play Over 1760 Yards. Big 3 Are Wind Speeds, Correct Doping On Scope & Even The Spin If Earth. That Said 6.5 PRC Will Reach Out Effective & Full Size Man Targets To 1500 Yards For The Better Civilian Shooters. After That There Are Better Cartridges. Dope Sheets Are Absolutely A Great Aid.

I've really gotta get away from my MOA scopes and finally make the full-on switch over to Mil-dot. So much better for this type of shooting.

@MountainsMulletsMerica

Жыл бұрын

Man nothing wrong with moa but in my opinion MIL based optics are just a much better fit for practical long range shooting. Don’t worry, the transition will be easy.

Only confused on one bit. So for inside/outside of your speed drop window, you held an extra .5-.6 MILs high, was this to double your margin for error or was it an educated guess?

Saw you SBR video. I’m really interested in scar 17 performance at range. If you get one before me, I’d love to see it on your range

I actually don't have plans to pickup a scar 17 myself, but one of my buddies has one that I can borrow. I've got a 308 video out similar to the SBR video you saw where I shoot my 16" SR25 to 1000ish yds, my expectation is the scar 17 would be capable of very similar performance. Now that you mention it however, scar 17 content would be a great addition to the channel. Thanks for watching!

Can I use this with a point blank range of say 200 yard zero

Awesome video man. Great simple explanation. Adding this to my toolkit and gonna set all my zero stops to run below my actual zero.

Why the 5 mill on the range finder??? I didn't quite grasp that part. And also, do you have a 0 mill rail and scope mount? Or is that a factor or not? Thank you.

@MountainsMulletsMerica

Жыл бұрын

The rail on the MRAD has 10 mils of elevation built into it. My scope mount is a 0 cant mount. I zero the rangefinder 5 mils below the main crosshair because the wilcox raptar is also an IR illuminator that I use when shooting at night with clip on NV. Zeroing the rangefinder/ IR illuminator 5 mils low means when I'm shooting at distance at night my illuminator is providing illumination down in the portion of the reticle that I'm actually using for shooting at extended distance. Hope this clears things up, let me know if it doesn't!

What state is this in? Fantastic! I'd love to see farming in this landscape someday.

So is this what primary arms used for the ACSS reticle?

@MountainsMulletsMerica

Жыл бұрын

No, I don’t believe so. My understanding of the ACSS reticle is it’s a bullet drop compensator. The hold overs are placed in the reticle based on where the bullet should land based on the calibration of the reticle. Speed drop factor is a mil based solution where you are adjusting the performance of a mil reticle so that it behaves like a bdc. So similar in function but not exactly the same in how they are designed. Hopefully that explanation makes sense. Thanks for watching!

I use the shooter app on my iphone but there are tons of quality ballistic apps available for download. From there you plug in your bullet weight, BC and velocity and the app will spit out your dope. Next thing is you want to check what the app provides against real world drop on the range. You can also use a tool like a kestrel to get dope but that is a significant investment.
