Long Range Meet - Saturday Nov. 27th

[Texas1911]

Where: Best of the West (Liberty Hill, TX)
When: 10:00 AM (Start)

I've already talked to the range and they will have people on hand to qualify us to shoot at the longer ranges.

I'll be bringing my 10/22 to shoot at 250 yards. It'd be a good platform to learn off of for those of you that aren't privy to shooting at distance. Travis should be bringing his AR, and a friend is bringing a toy or two. Pretty informal.

Distances are:

100 Yards (Paper Targets)
250 Yards (Steel)
500 Yards (Steel)
750 Yards (Steel)
1000 Yards (Steel)

I will have my ballistics app out there to help anyone that doesn't have a dope chart on hand. Be sure to know something about your load, otherwise the app won't help you.

If you are shooting a .22 be sure your ammo is standard velocity or sub-sonic, the high velocity stuff won't do well at 100+ yards. I highly recommend a brick of Wolf Match.

Geez every time something is going on... I already have plans.

 

[Texas1911]

I'm sure we'll be doing it again.

 

[Texas1911]

If you need a dope chart ... post in here with what you plan to shoot and the ammo.

 

[Ric_Knight]

I just got back to town...How did it go?

 

[SIG_Fiend]

Fun as hell! With Alan's factory 10/22 target barrel, we were dinging the steel at 250yds with ease. He was even rapid firing and the other shooters on the line were hearing this really quiet, "ting, ting, ting" and were wondering what the heck?! LOL Well, FINALLY I qualified to go to 1k. The friend's 700 5R shot great, but I'm not the most experienced rifle shooter, plus I didn't put the dope on the scope myself which made things a little bit more difficult. I only went out to 500yds as we ran out of time. Everyone else went out to 750-1k. I think I'll need a bit more practice at 500 to be more consistent.

 

[Ric_Knight]

Sounds like fun, I wish I could have been there. I will defiantly try to make the next one.

On another subject, any thought on the next range day? Defensive Pistol?

 

[Dcav]

Post up the next day and we will try to make it.

Let me get this AR built and you'll rock the 750

I would be down to go if it was done after Dec. 17th. Will have a rimfire with 165 MOA range

How are you getting 165 MOA of scope dope? Your standard scope has ~50 MOA in it with a 1" tube.

 

[Dust]

140 + 25 = 165 MOA. Millett LRS-1 with a 35mm tube and .1mil locking knobs. Not bad for $350 used and a lifetime transferable warranty

 

[Bithabus]

How about handguns at LoneStar next time? Afterward we can get BBQ.

I've got that Millett, it's a lot of scope for the money. I was hunting late one night and noticed that I could see more light through the scope than without it. The lenses must be polished with powdered, cursed brimstone or something...pretty freakin' impressive.

Sounds good to me. I'm thinking maybe this Saturday or Sunday. That sound alright, or too soon?

Works for me. I figure early to beat the crowds.

 

[Dust]

Alot of people are trying to say it's hit and miss, but everyone but one I have talked to has loved there's. The lifetime warranty is nice. Can't wait to get it on the MK2. What would 165 MOA with a .22 sub sonic get me?
