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

[Mikeinfwa]

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

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