Lots of chatter on many forums like.
It shoots really good.
This load works excellent in many rifles I have shot it in.
I got hits out to 1000 yards.
Puts all rounds in the same hole.
How big is that hole? :)

I like numbers and that is what it all boils down to.
So lets talk about our rifles and what has been done to them to get those hits but I want to know what load what brass and prep what rest and what distance and of most importance group sizes.

You can talk about cross wind also :)
I do not mind a bit.

Post pictures of course.
If I got all the rounds in the X ring at 1000 yards which is 5" by gum I would have a picture of it and I do not have a cell phone but I would get out the Nikon for sure.
For 1000 yard F class I think the large circle portion of the target is 5 feet across correct me if i am wrong.

This chatter can be any distance share your knowledge.

I have been shooting f open at my club for 3 seasons with basically a prs rig chambered in 243 Win. Off an Atlas bipod. Sometimes I shoot a good score Sometimes I shoot a low score.

ShotMarker targets are the cats ass. They are what initially got me in to the game. No more driving back and forth to the pit to check and mark bullet holes you know what I mean.

2 hits back to back at 1100 yards on what looked like a skinny dude sized steel target, It was a sub MOA group like hit ya in the sternum and then the left nipple. 😂 couldnt take photos due to a hot range. If I can ever get the property to actually measure a 5 shot group at that distance I will.

In reality though, I don't do a lot of group shooting. I have always just ran a medium load in most rifles, zero them dead on or inch or so high at 100 yards, and go hunt with them. I don't hunt near as much as I used to so now I'm more into handguns and such. I can shoot decent groups at 7-10 yards offhand with most of my revolvers, but rarely stretch them out farther or use a rest of any kind.
