100 yards standing .223 and the 6.5 Creedmoor didn't get to try out further.

Nice an really good for standing. I might have to give a standing shot a go.

Finally got a day without wind try this. Random ranges from high points on the farm.

My 6 year old had to have a go too…wasn’t keen to just have one shot though! Haha. Pretty proud of his efforts, takes ages to get on target but does well.








Interestingly, I was checking my 6.5 PRC last week on a gusty day and thought it was shooting to the left so adjusted for that. Probably should have left it given these results…

Took my 223 , 6.5x55 and 300 WM out today for a try at the standing 100 yds, surprised myself although the 300 WM was low I new I was low when I touched off. Its a bit hard as all my rifles are high at 100 yds so I was trying to compensate by aiming a little lower, pretty happy with the results.

I take my hate off to anyone who can hit a dinner plate at 100m free hand in a standing position with a 300 win mag or 7mm rem mag.

Anyone out there doing this?

I shot a sika spiker in the head with a 7mm blase at about 50 to 60 yards standing unsupported. Saved the meat haha

Took the 6.5 prc out this morning, havent shot it in ages and would be over a year since I shot it over 200y I think.

Picked out the dinner plate gong at the range at 475y 10deg up and lay on the sharp frosty gravel in the driveway bipod and no rear bag.
First round hit high center, second round same.

Possibly shooting a bit high because bipod on hard ground or no rear bag or combination of both but I wanted to see what would happen just throw it on the ground and shoot.

In the feild if shooting any sort of distance I would be trying to build a better position and using clothing or pack or whatever to get some better support.

Don't do a lot of off hand shooting (apart from under 30 or so yards bush shooting) Here's my dinner plate challenge, 147m offhand holding a spotlight and trying to climb out of a side by side, right in the sweet spot

Perhaps not a dinner plate but definitely dinner.

Only just seen this thread and it has been a good read. Hopefully will get out soon and give this a go but have recently had a chat with a mate about my max range. Have a 308 that I can put 3 shots into 1 hole with at 100m in a paddock then took it out to 400m(shooting uphill, into the sun and up a gully with a x wind). Ended up firing 2 shots into about 2" at that range(bang on elevation but didn't allow for wind) so was pretty chuffed. Ended up taking a 660m~ shot about a month or so later which i missed . That reinforced my self imposed limit of 500m with that rifle which is what I am going to do the dinner plate challenge on when I get the chance to see if I am competent or if I need to reduce my max range.
