Reply With Quoteif those were all shot at 1000yds thats a pretty nice water line and may be a good load with some seating depth adjustments...how big is that target and how big are the squares?

try 15 and 35 at 1000yds next time you get a chance with the same charge....shoot 10 at .015 first then drop 1 moa and shoot the .035...color the bullets(just in case you get a high flyer)color 10 with a light color and 10 with a dark color...if you cant see the colors around the holes a little rubbing alcohol on a Q-tip will bring the colors out.

.260 and .261 should get you where you need to be for neck tension...your load looks pretty good at a 1000yds may just need some more trigger time or a small tweak...the smallest movement at a 1000yds will cause a big shift in POI...and for your first time at a 1000yds thats some very good shooting...just an FYI make sure you use white paper like you did above if/when you shoot the colored bullets.

Bad news here, your not going to see bullet holes at 1000 yards.

You just need wider bullets!
I am also impressed with your vertical! The rest is wind reading. Awesome.

You will in the white part of the target with good conditions. And you wont need a $2000 scope to do it.Originally Posted by earl39

Remember this about optics and you wont be dissapointed very often.
On a good day they are all pretty good.
On a bad day only the good are pretty good.
And on a very bad day none are any good.
If you cant see it with 40 power you wont see it with any power. And on a good day you wont need 40 power either with a decent scope.
I will say this, there are some 50 year old scopes out there that will show bullet holes at 1000 yds on a good day.
But im not aware of any with a name like Barska.

If you shoot in an area where theres dirt, then I might suggest using clay pigeons @ 1K.... if you miss, you,ll defently see a slash of dirt and adjust accordingly, you wont have to worry about being able to see bug holes at 1K
I don't mind shooting paper for comps but for practice and weekend bragging rights while shooting with fellow long range shooters , we prefer clay pigeons. imo...it,ll make you a better shooter. aim small, hit small.

The term cheap need have little to do with price. First off most modern scopes come with zoom eyepieces which are opticly inferior
to good quality fixed power ones. Today, very few companies offer fixed power ones. But like building guns, good optics can be created.
Exactly, At Williamsport, usually there are clay birds on the berms to make initial zeroing easier and much faster.
Aim small hit small is the plan, but sometimes aim small miss big is the outcome lol.

You dont actually build the scope, You just start with a good one and improove it.
And you can start with a good one you paid a song for on ebay compared to new junk.
Go to Williamsport on a day a 1000 yd match is taking place. I doubt you will find a single
spotting scope of any variety. But you will find numerous ones that have been paired up in brackets.
You could do it also with a single scope, but try walking around for an hour with one eye closed to get the idea.
Although you would be apt to see a $5000 set of the more expensive scopes, you will also see sets costing
less than $1000. Maybe much less than $1000, and they will all be capable of seeing bullet holes if the conditions are good.
And if they arent good, none will be seeing any bullet holes.
This set up is cheaper than a high end spotting scope. Down side is the set up time.
the pic shows the system set up in my garage as reference.
Hd full 1080 dig camcorder, plugged into a wireless transmitter which has the capability beaming the signal to the receiver which is plugged into a lap top 1k away.
Lap top has the software to record/edit/cut rewind etc. it records at the camcorder and at the lap top.
Believe it or not, this set up isn't that expensive. the most expensive components were the trans/receiver which are good out to 1 mile.
I only use this set up when Im alone sending them to distance out in the desert valley out to about 1200ish.
Just a thought.
