I've been initiated

Got my first taste at some long distance shooting! 600 yard prone and 1000 yard prone with my 10 BA Stealth in 6.5 Creedmoor. I've had some issues keeping the EGW mounting rails from coming loose but I got through today without them coming loose on me. 100 yard zero with Hornady Amax 120 grain rounds...3.3 mils up at 600 yards. 7 of 8 rounds on the target, all within 6 inch radius circle from center. 8.2 mils up at 1000 yards...13 of 14 rounds on target, all within 8 inch radius circle from center. Fortunate enough to have a day with virtually no wind. Not bad for my first time shooting past 200 yards!

Congrats! Looking forward to trying my 22-250.
I can't wait to get out on the range. We just got a dump of around 3 feet of snow so it won't be for another three weeks.

Cool, I have shot a few Caribou past 200 but never any target.

We have a 300 yard range that is about the same distance as our 100, it does not have the heated shed so its a summer only shoot, that's a bit off. I am going to hit once the weather is good.

There is a 1000 yard range somewhere 40 - 80 miles North of us, I am going to hit that at some point.

I have to see if there is a road along side it!

So you tried it and didn't like it?
I'll take that 10 BA out of your hands for no charge at all to you. :D
