I'm looking at the scope right now. Its still at the 500 yard zero and set for an east to west shot with a wind from the south. I think I'm gonna have to shoot this thing when its calm outside to get it exact. But given what I did, the shots were still sound.

But not so much if ur closer. ;-)

Lets remember I've been shooting this thing at a mile also. Can anyone guess my zero? :)

USSR: I mis-spoke as I read the title wrong. Was reading between benchrest and f class. I don't shoot competitively. So I'm only loosely informed of the rules. Johnny : ill have to look it up, I'm pretty sure its just a long distance friendly contest on a Sunday every month. Ill post info...

The thought of him saying it has a trajectory within 4' of a seven mag makes me smile. It means I'm not the most ignorant person on here after all. LOL!! The 7.62x39 was made so little people could carry lots of ammo and rain it down at distance. Sure the thing will shoot up to 1000 yards, but...

esheato Do u ever shoot in Houston at the f class event on Sundays?

At those speeds the bullet will expand better than at 400 yards. Besides that, the size of the bullet vs speed = heavy impact. U are correct that match bullets aren't designed for this but I've cut a Berger vld hunting bullet in half and its not constructed any different than the match bullet...

At 1000 yards with a 190smk fired at 3000 fps the velocity falls to 1470 fps and impacts with 1000 ft/lbs. This bullet goes subsonic about 1350 at this velocity is still carrying 500 ft lbs. The 208 amax and 210 vlds and sierras are even better.

Esheato : that's good shooting and an awesome rig. I wanted a lapua but the old lady says next year. So I'm stuck with the 300wm and 300wsms. What's the specs on the lapua? Justin : I understand about the lack of chances. Until I found some fellas from Dallas, Lawton, and Houston did I start...

The Marines thought so. Lets see some of yalls shots. The x ring of f class is 5". There's plenty of guys better than me. I think the f class world record is just under 3.5" I'd have to check. Last I saw it was a 200-13x

now now y'all. This is for sharing ur experiences. Not a bitch session. Lol! Yes that is a real target from our last trip to the range. That's 17 mins up and 8 minutes left approximately. Let's see what y'all got!! Try not to argue! I'm tired of the negativity.

This seems like a pretty hot topic, especially now that it's deer season in most places. Please list the longest shot you've ever made. Doesn't matter if it was on targets or game. I stuck my foot in my mouth a couple of times on this forum already for bringing up the silly stuff that I do...

Freedom fighter... Please don't take my words in the wrong context. I often refer to it as such for the simple fact that my tasks were simply that. I have the most respect for our infantry and all lower ranks for that matter. CS duties tend to make one numb to certain feelings. If I have...

whelen Benchrest isn't the same thing as f class. I don't condone extremely long shots except by those who can make them with consistency. Thus the statement about bullets and equipment. Someone who buys a gun off the shelf and a normal box of ammo with regular optics has a snowballs chance...

The f-class x ring is 5" (1/2 moa) at 1000 yards. Difficult shots for inexperienced people usually do sound impossible. The world record group at 1000 is about 3". My personal shots at long distance at targets and deer were for my own personal satisfaction, not to brag. The whole point of...

ankeny Yes it does. At 1050 I can nail a target or deer 9 times out of ten. In favorable conditions I have pulled 4" at 1000. For shooting at 1500 yds there's a lot to take into account. I've managed an 8" group at 1500 and a 12" at 1760. Doping wind is the hardest thing to do out past 1000. It...

germster The collection is a hand me down from my great grandfather that was started almost 85 years ago. Ill post some pics when I get back into town. As u know, the takedowns in carrying cases are some of the rarer guns. Sad to say though that only three of these guns are ever fired...

harceypervin LOL! You would definitely have a few head shots under ur belt by day's end.

I think I just finished bashing mosins over on the firing line LOL. A lot of those guys love that stinking gun. I've got plenty of Belgium brownings and mannlichers, so I don't see the point in buying mosins.

I've taken whitetail at 1050, elk at 600, grizzly at 300, and rag heads up to 1500. The preparation in long shots is very very important, as is the cartridge and its design. I do not suggest the normal Joe attempting game shots at over 400 yards for the simple fact that most folks can't group...
