Quote HistoryQuoted: He did that blind?? I noticed the holes weren't opened up like a spotter spindle would do and wondered about that. Then I read he had no idea his impacts until he walked up to target, which explains that. That is a seriously huge holy shit. That is absolutely amazing. He musta got ahold of some of my reloads

Quote HistoryQuoted: It was great shooting no doubt (along with impeccable load development/preparation and hardware that is capable). HOWEVER, I guarantee he got lucky with wind conditions being totally favorable for all ten shots. He did the rest. HOWEVER, I guarantee this is discussed in the article....

Quote HistoryQuoted: Conditions had to be just about perfect for that guy to do that and he has some very serious skill to be able to do that at 1,000. I bet his ass puckered quite a bit after seeing where shot 10 hit. He almost 9X'd it instead of 10X. Bet the conditions were changing. Amesome record.... He didn't see where any of the shots hit until he saw where they ALL hit. Does anyone read the linked articles? |

His reloads target an extreme spread of 10 FPS!
lol I bet some chronos aren’t even that accurate! Don’t you got to make sure all your ammo stays the same temperature within a few degrees for that level of velocity consistency? |

My last 880 yard shoot (half mile) was 5.56 with a 20” AR.
I hit 59/60 shots on an 18” steel gong. Was a hell of a lot of fun. Also proves that I have 47 years to work on catching up to this dude. I’m not close. |

Amazing equipment
Amazing ammo Amazing skill and experience (skill teaches you how and when to pull the trigger, experience teaches when not to pull the trigger ) A bit of luck (no wind or very steady wind) Quite a bit of great shooting! I had a friend (RIP Bill) who was a serious Palma shooter who used to wish for wind . He would claim there were younger guys who were in better shape than him and better eyesight but only a very few with his experience at reading and holding into the wind . Palma is big in Canada and Bill took the winner trophy at the Canadian Nationals one year . Palma is a 3 range match shot prone at 600,800 and 1,000 yds . |

Okay some one with a good ballistic app needs to see what a 5 or 10 fps spread does at that range.
Yes I think there is a damn lot of skill involved, but a damn lot of luck too. What does a 1/10 mph wind change at 500 do to the bullet by the time it gets to 1000, or even a 5 degree change in the angle of wind. I am talking about things that you just cant really measure or plans for. You just need to be good, take your shots and hope. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Having a lot of skill makes you lucky. Putting ten in that tight at 1000 yards is way beyond luck. [ETA] Just having a gun and ammo that can do that is remarkable. This is really fucking phenomenal shooting. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Extreme novice regarding long range shooting, how much of this is skill and how much is luck? I realize this dude is a badass shooter, but with that kid of range, certain variables have to come into play you can’t control. Having a lot of skill makes you lucky. Putting ten in that tight at 1000 yards is way beyond luck. [ETA] Just having a gun and ammo that can do that is remarkable. This is really fucking phenomenal shooting. This,.... you have to have the skill to do it and the luck other factors don’t blow it.....literally....thinks like a puff of a slightly different wind. So yea skill with luck to hold it straight for ten shots. |

Ya know if he’d done it on a range with just him and a couple friends to witness it? Sure call it ‘luck’ and say yeah he was skilled but..... bullshit. This was a competition with other presumably skilled shooters on the line under the same conditions. And THEY didn’t shoot that group. This was raw skill. Man knows which end of the gun a boolet comes outta.

Quote HistoryQuoted: That is insane. I managed 5 shots in 9" at 1000 and was damn proud! I'll always be proud that I had 3 out of 5 hits on a 4MOA target the first time I shot at 1,000yds  This accomplishment is basically impossible for me so I'll just be happy for him and not jealous

I am talking about things that you just cant really measure or plans for. You just need to be good, take your shots and hope. Using the 215 grain @ nominal 3000 fps mv, a drop to 2990 fps results in a 1.9" deviation at 1000 yards. So it looks like a 10 fps spread in velocity would have cause a greater deviation than his actual vertical dispersion of 1.664"

I am talking about things that you just cant really measure or plans for. You just need to be good, take your shots and hope. Just shot a 1000 yard match this weekend, running a 6.5 CM. Ran that very calculation. A 20 fps difference (at the 1000 yard target, not the muzzle) gives less than an inch of additional bullet drop on a 147 gr ELD while passing at 600 yards. That same load impact at 1000 yards at ~1500 fps on target, gives over 5" of bullet drop differential. Things show up at 1000 yards that don't show up at all at even 600 yards. It was an educational experience, and a real groan dropping a low 9, and then seeing the ShotMarker reporting the on-target velocity as 30 fps slower than the prior shot. You start getting some real verticle stringing with all but the best ammo. I will say, that 147gr ELD out of a Creedmoor held wind very darned well. |
