[QUOTE="C.O. Shooter, post: 995345, member: 35510"] This evening I was out shooting at extended ranges for the first time. We started at 1500 and needless to say things didn't go to well for me, 0-12. 30x30" piece of steel. I started with 52 MOA and worked my way down to 47 MOA. It was hard to see our hits as the weeds were high. My last couple shots were good with elevation, however, couldn't get my wind right. Only dialed 1.5 MOA left to start, then 4 MOA left, then back to 1.5 MOA Left. Too much moving around, should have got a better range on the target, and my buddies were itching to go to a mile. Conditions were perfect as we had no wind. My buddy was shooting his 6.5 SAUM and was smoking the plate at 1500 yards, so I went off his range call. Some days your on and others you are not. Out to 1725 (Ranged with Leica) just short of a mile, I got to fire 3 rounds, 0-3. Dialed 65 MOA and 2 MOA left. Elevation was about maxed out. Again, no wind what so ever. I had a blast, however, I was bummed out I didn't get a hit. I understand I was pushing the 6.5-284 past its limits. I was shooting the 140 hybrids/2925 . So was my buddy out of his SAUM (3125). I forget what he was dialing in Mils. Who knows...... Maybe next time. [/QUOTE]
