According to the handloads.com ballistic calculator, the stated bullet (Nosler 77 hpbt) with a .340 BC will need 3000fps to make 1000 yards supersonic, at which point it goes transsonic.



 

Horus reticle and plenty of elevation ravel?

My 300RUM drops 653" or 12.8 MILs @ 1300m; 1300" of drop or roughly 24MILs isn't impossible with the Mk8 and Horus reticles, that would probably top out your elevation turret, so you would hold 4 or 5 MILs in the reticle.

Phantom gunfire?


Or, it could just be the other guy with him that he discussed seconds earlier.


Edit: beat.

 

Magic lob shots aside

Another "premium AR"? I know this i ARFCOM but boring

Well they claimed 1200yds not 1300yds.

They are obviously well above Sea Level.

2600fps for the Nosler 77gr (@ 5000ft/60 deg) drops 900 inches or 19 mils. Both the the Horus H27 and the 7.62 CMR-W  have plenty of reticle for that amount of hold over.

The MK 8 has plenty of elevation to dial all of that solution and they mention they are dialing.

Not exactly rocket science to ring steel a few times at that range with a 14.5 and 77gr bullets.

Obviously  a bunch of shots were edited out of the video.

He's also shooting with half a breath, his feet up on his toes, and with a wicked goofy curve in his back.

But, whatever.

This video made me curious so I created a profile on my ballistic calculator to see the numbers. I am using a Trimble Nomad running Field Firing Solutions Delta V paired with a Kestrel 4500 BT. Using the data from AXTS site for their rifle shows a 14.5" 1/8 twist barrel. The shooter in the video stated they were using a 77 grain nosler bullet. The velocity was not stated nor were the atmospheric conditions aside from the 15 MPH wind so I just used the current conditions at my location.

The fastest velocity for given load data from the nosler site is 2692 FPS. I decided to give them the benefit of the doubt and bumped the muzzle velocity up to 2800 FPS in my calculator.

My calculator shows 18.4 mils (63.27 MOA) of elevation required to hit @ 1200 yards. Here are a few pics of data from my calculator, again this is with some approximations of data on my end.








I am not saying that they didn't do this or that it can't be done and I'm not trying to start a pissing match. However, I would not be willing to bet on MYSELF recreating these shots with any sort of real consistency. A few things that would make this fairly difficult in my mind with what is shown in the video; 8 power scope, 15 MPH wind, what looks to me to be less than ideal spotting conditions.
