[QUOTE="Marine sniper, post: 299520, member: 4768"] I just got back from a little vacation to some property I have in Idaho. It just so happens we have a hayfield that is over 1200 yards across and almost completely open. I was not able to do as much shooting as I wanted; but was able to do some long range shooting with my custom 300 Wby. I shoot 210 Bergers at 2980-2990 fps. These are all the groups that I fired other than one at 1212 yards I screwed up by not holding the rifle tight enough. It went 13 inches. Every now and then I try to be a bench rest shooter and loosen the grip on one of my big magnums and it opens the group up every time. It was a pretty calm day, could barely see a little wind in the mirage. I shot two, three shot groups at each range other than 1212, which I shot 3. I am a big fan of Berger bullets, I don't feed this 300 Weatherby anything else. The groups measure 600-1: 1.75 in 600-2: 3.5 in. 1000-1: 5 11/16 1000-2: 3 11/16 1212-1: 5 1212-2: 13 (not in picture) 1212-3: 3 3/4 [IMG]http://www.fitnesssolutionshb.com/photos/RR600.JPG[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.fitnesssolutionshb.com/photos/RR1212.JPG[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.fitnesssolutionshb.com/photos/rr8-5range.JPG[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
