Hugely impressed. Then there is how the shots walked consistently.
Whatever that variable is that caused that makes me wonder how small it could have been. Best group I ever fired was around MOA at 800 yards with my 300WinMag. 5 shots with 3 horizontally strung in the width of a 5 dollar bill and 2 that were higher. I could cover the 5 shots with my hand. I threw a small happy dance when I saw the shots to point of aim. I fired the group with 5.5moa of left windage correction and held into the wind based on if I felt it was gisting or not. Having a friend there to see it was another cool thing. I still attribute it to about 30-50% luck. Long range shooting is a fun exercise in math with statistics and ballistics. |

I shot a DCM match at that range many years ago.
My group was, um, NOT .25 moa  |

Quote HistoryQuoted: 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. 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. |

Chuck is definitely doing a lot of things right. The way he’s living, the way he develops his hand loads and the way he shoots. If I would live to be 83, I’d want to be like Chuck! |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Yep  .I haven't got much practice in at 1000 yards yet. But I felt pretty good the first time I held 10 shots to 9" at 900 yards. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: That is insane. I managed 5 shots in 9" at 1000 and was damn proud! Yep .I haven't got much practice in at 1000 yards yet. But I felt pretty good the first time I held 10 shots to 9" at 900 yards. Probably not going to look as good as he does at 83, either. But then, I couldn’t hit a bull in the ass with a bass fiddle and I never was much to look at, so there is that.

Awesome! Is someone going to develop a new target, smaller X ring for the next record?
Those short magnums seem to be wonderful for accuracy. Short, fat stacks of powder. |

Unreal, all of it...the talent, the luck, and still having that ability at 83 years of age. Long range is a blast, but now my "good" sub MOA groups at half the distance feel inadequate. Way to go, Chuck!

Quote HistoryQuoted: Awesome! Is someone going to develop a new target, smaller X ring for the next record? Those short magnums seem to be wonderful for accuracy. Short, fat stacks of powder. These are shot with guns far heavier than anyone would reasonably carry using front and rear rests. Not trying to downplay the extreme accuracy but these events are more of a reloading and timing the wind competition than a competition based on traditional shooting skills. I think for dynamic shooting like PRS the hot 6.5mm and 6mms are going to be the go to for some time. |

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. For a shooter with excellent trigger discipline, excellent ammo, excellent rifle and excellent glass, a 1MOA group is pretty easily attainable with zero wind. Beyond a few hundred yards, reading the wind IS the game, and the game gets exponentially harder with distance. To do it perfectly for every single shot at 1000 yards is amazing. |

I shot a 0.243 10 shot group at 100 with my precision AR when the barrel was new and I had worked up a custom load using Vit N-133. Wind was dead calm. I have been chasing that damn group size again for 12 years and can't even get reasonably close anymore.
My FIL is a ranked benchrest shooter. 6mmPPC on completely custom builds with Leupold 45X target scopes. Hes an OCD reloader and actually makes his own projectiles (lead swagged and copper J7 cups with specialty pressure rings.....etc.) It's a completely gear driven sport with 1 OUNCE triggers and the groups he shoots in good conditions are real screamers. Amazing actually. All bullets into 1 rough hole and they have to run backer paper winding spools just to verify that they shot 5 times in 7 minutes on the record target. He'll be the first to say doping the wind is what the game is ALL about. 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 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. |
