338 Lapua BA 110 Reloder 33 with 300 Sierra SMK at 1000 yards

Back to range today....

Reloder 33 - 97.5 grains as published on Alliant web site

2750 fps

CCI 250 Primers

Lapua Brass 3rd loading. Annealed after 2nd firing.

Calm winds 80 degrees..

5 shots at Prairie Dog:

first shot was scope set at .3mils left

2-5 shots were with scope adjusted to .2 mils left

For those not familiar with "spin drift"... It is a factor with long range shooting. I see it first hand when shooting at 1000 yards in calm winds.

Two examples: Those shots which miss the steel have a furrow in the dirt from 7 oclock to 1 oclock. Additionally, shots which just miss the left edge of steel impact BEHIND...yes BEHIND the steel. in other words, the trajectory is a slight curve from left to right... ie spin drift.

Here's the youtube link.

it's in slow motion :p

Spindrift wouldnt be very visable at 1000 yds. Not even enough to compensate for.
