TRG-42 Out To 1250 Yards

[338Shooter]

We started off shooting at 825 and that got kinda boring so we moved back to 1250. If we would have moved the target up one berm it would have been 1500 yards. But, I'm glad we didn't because the 308s the other guys were shooting were subsonic at 1250 and we found whole bullets in the dirt at the target from where they were tumbling. We had a BLAST!! Fired off about 90 rounds of 338 Lapua and my shoulder is a mite tender.

Dinging that steel at 1250 put a mile wide grin on my face.

Yes the 338 will leave a mark on your shoulder after awhile.

With my 308, it felt like I was calling in mortar strikes with the flight path. I did manage two hits but my load was definitely out of gas around that distance. Found one bullet that looked like you could clean it up and reload it. The jacket didn't even open any and the meplate looked just as good as when I loaded it the first time. Definitely past the limits of the load and the shooter!!!

That was some danged fine shooting, pinging the steel at that range
Private property??
I'd like to find a long range area to play. Everything I have access to, is flat as a board. Scared of richochets.

 

[338Shooter]

yeah, it was private property. That transmission line is Caddo's. Sure is nice of them to keep that guy's shooting range clear of trees and junk.

Don't believe it, need target pictures.
