100% Hits to 600 Yards?

[Joefrazell]

A milk jug isn't very wide. Even at 600 you've gotta be pretty spot on with your wind call. I personally don't think most people will be anywhere close to 100%. I'll argue that a kill zone on most big game is a bit larger than a milk jug.

Most of my shooting is done between 100 and 500 yards. If I was being filmed, I would probably have to do some serious editing. It would be fun to try. If only I can get someone else to haul the milk jugs.

 

[Boom]

100 rounds with a hunting rifle could be a bit painful

Not a fan of backfire. Mostly all click bait. If none has listened I recommend Texas predator hunting podcast.

I would love to try the challenge but, i think I would be around 70% on a good day.

I voted by percentage, but not by 100 shots.
My favorite hunting rifles are limited to 400 yards: a 500 AccRel (wildcat, ballistically like 500Jeffrey), hand-loaded 416Rigby rounds at 330-350gn at 2800fps, and 338WM with 210-225 gn loads at 2830-2950fps. All MOA. The only 600-yard hunting rifle that I own is a 300PRC. It's pretty nice, but I don't like the idea of going beyond 500 yards, even 400 most of the time.
Forty years ago, anything over 300 yards was considered a long shot, and I've made a few. A person needed to know their areas and ranges very well. And even then . . . I once called a 450-yard shot "300-flat". Yes, the shot was low and fortunately missed the front hooves.

Some days the squirrels in my pecan tree at 30 yds with a 22 are challenging enough

Not sure about milk jugs, but I have scored in the 590's/600 points in Mid Range Prone with a match AR15 and Service Rifle AR15 at 600 yards. Shooting Prone with sling. The 10 ring is 12 inches, the X is 6 inches. With that said, I think with a bolt rifle with bipod or a bag, I could do pretty good on jugs. The thing about High Power competition, if you make a bad wind call, the black bull is large enough for you to see your mistake when the man in the pit marks it with a spotter, then make corrections and get back in the 10 ring. With a jug, only thing you have is flying dirt, if you miss, if even that.

The club I'm a member of has steel out to 840, but it's all larger than a milk jug.

I've got zero doubt that I could hit 90%+ of those targets.

 

[Husky user]

It would take me all day to shoot 100 rounds,what with letting the rifle cool ever 3 shots!
I will try 10 rounds with my 25-06 as soon as I can get to the range!

 

[adk hunter]

This needs to be March's shooting challenge!
Maybe 10 jugs from 100-600...

 

[Varmint Hunter]

Can I use someone's back for a rest?

Do you use a muzzle brake?

 

[Mark37082]

If you put me in the same position with a guy talking to me, camera man filming me, etc., there is probably a very low chance of hitting 50% of the 100 jugs. Going to a range with a nice shooting mat, consistent elevation and environmental conditions is a different story.

I was on an aoudad hunt with a guy that had a high end carbon tripod who claimed he could hit at 500 every time. He didn't have it with him when we spotted a very nice ram facing us at 230 yards. He was helpless without his tripod, and the grass was too high for prone. His buddy finally did get down on all fours to make a rest for him. He broke the left shoulder with a glancing shot, and it took more shots to finish him. His comment was "They aren't very wide when they're facing you."
