Love my 260 AIThis is a pretty typical group for this rifle in decent field conditions. 822 yards, 156 EOL out of my .260AI. View attachment 241322
825 yards, 2 3/4 inch 4-6 inch at 1100 yards wear we do our trueing 300 win custom proof 28 inch carbon fiber 215 gr hybrids with H-1000 many moose, boos, sheep and black tails and bears down to his rigHi, from New Zealand! I was shooting a fairly new custom 65-284 last weekend and got a 2 1/2 three shot group at 543 metres. 50 odd rounds down the tube.
I shoot off a bipod and bag but this time it was a jacket for the rear rest.
My 18 year old son shot a group just under 3" 20 minutes later at the same distance using my rifle.
Load is 130 VLDH 51.5gr ADI 2209 which is the H4350. @ 3025 FPS. Waiting for the barrel to shift gears as cut rifle barrels usually do and see another 100 FPS or thereabout.

By the way the rifle and I are handicapped, lefty
It will be great to hear/see what you good folk consider a good group that will be inside the (kill zone) in field conditions at 600,800 and 1000 yards from a long range hunting rig.
Wow you guys are making me feel bad
Off topic but how's that kestrel and Leica working together. Thinking of getting that set-up.I like doing the same. Stick a target and drive away till I find a suitable spot to shoot from. Range using a Leica that talks to my Kestrel elite and try to get the wind rightand shoot.
