Finally got to take my VLP .223 out to 1,000 yards this morning. Got up early and hit the hills on my ATV while it was cool and winds were calm. I wasnt sure if my load of 75 hornady bthp and 24.4 varget would make it to 1K so i started off with a zero @200 yards,smacked some rocks at 650 yds ,then on to 1K
I checked my ballistic app and it called for 35 MOA so i fired a shot ,hit low then dialed on up to 40 MOA and connected !
My leica rangefinder will read out to around 990 yards so i may have been shooting 1,050 yards or so.
I have some .30 cal rifles but i love the small calibers with no recoil so i can easily spot my hits.
