Thread: calibre advice

Hands up who has had more one shot kills at 1000+ yards (metres whatever) than misses or wounding?

how did this get to 7 pages

This is why the people that do this stuff don't post!
You have just as much chance of wounding one at 100 yards.

Because you haven't changed your forum settings to maximum posts per page. I only have 3 pages in this thread!

still to many

I’d be the first to agree with that statement.

I’ll bite.

The difficulty of a 1000y shot is actually everything but the shot itself. By the time you have dug in to make the shot you already know what your ES is you already know that every time you pull the trigger your shot will be better than .5 moa you already know that this wind is say 2.5 which is a pretty typical wind adjustment even on a good day. My LR 7mm WSM is more consistent than my F-Class rifle ever was. Especially with the 180 Hybrid. The 180 hybrid is very effective at 1000y. To say I have never wounded @ 1000 is bullshit yes I have indeed. But my second shot won’t nor will my third. At best I can get about 12-15 shots before fouling etc. starts having some effect and elevation starts climbing.

In short I kill far more than I wound.

Farrk I think at at anything over a hundred metres I'm straining the barrel.....;-)

The 375 is without doubt the way forward in ELR.

I'm really looking forward to a longer barrel to see how hard I can accurately push my 452s

Nothing like cutting edge

How long are we talking? Whats the G7 and speed are you hoping for?

Hopefully 40" BC G1 1.07-9, already getting 2990 with 33" so hopefully 3050 + we will have to wait & see

Not this projectile it is the 450 Lazer but you get the idea.

When you guys run you calcs on this stuff I assume you convert to G7? I have never been able to get a G1 any where close after 800y. That said I almost always need to push the number up. The 180 Hybrid is .345 G7 but I run it at .36 to get it to calibrate from 400 to 1000y.

Yep G7 fits the flight curve better

I need to ask more questions from those more intelligent than myself, but even G7 struggles with that sort of projectile profile at ELR as far as I'm aware ?

I know G1 fits OK out to 2100 yards

Shit you need to buy a CNC lath gregg Hmm I might have to abandon this thread before I do something stupid

That's cool stuff if any of this shooting happends in the North island I might have to come along and have a look. Bring my tiny little pee shooter with me.

Fortunately stepping your BC for individual requirements/distances requires lots of ELR shooting !!!

We shoot to 2000yrds with a 338 edge a couple of times a month, come along if your keen.
