Q:

Longest Distance Ever Shot (AIR)-1108 yds-257 Video


Hi all,

Distance quest has finished. In my raked area the misses are even difficult to see unless impact is in FINE DIRT and CAN see dust. If in the pebbles can’t see where. Apologies for video first half not sharp focus. I stopped and took a 20 min break and went down and turned camera back on. It focused better that time . Also this was when CALIFORNIA was on fire and smoke filled the valley and can see in video even. I tried this distance before days earlier and could see impact zone with naked eye, but scope magnified/compressed the air particles and did NOT see IMPACTS. So tried this day.

Bullets compressed almost all the way on impact.

In STILL PICS below, I tear target off steel plate and see the 12 impacts, left top a WEAK 13th strike but impacted dirt and skipped in…….You can see 12 impacts well with target peeled off………THE ORANGE PASTER, 6″ with impacts in center were from 540 yds another day. I just put pistol target over and they were NOT SHOT AT 1108 yds.

Steel Plate is 39″ wide……..Image of me with plate and tripod/flag were single FRAME captures out of VIDEO i had. Gives perspective…..

Include pics of gun angle after shooting and the incline of scope rail….298 moa.. Was a fun adventure getting there but am done with the .257 for DISTANCE, It will travel further but not for any practical purpose but to say it was done ???…….Will now in 2017 TRY the same with the .45 TEXAN. I have it NOW able to go 1000 yds and not finished with what I have planned. Only have shot it 225 yds testing but all ballistic computer info says it will do the same as the .257 and that surprised me….Not as it came in BOX but WILL NOW 8) All wet and muddy here now and will soon be playing out to 600 yds. Further will have to be dried out to find the dusty impacts for precise elevation.
