[QUOTE="coych, post: 934878, member: 77640"] Today I amazed myself by hitting my first target at 1500 yards, not only once but 5 times in a row. After months of tinkering I finally got the load dialed in just right for my rifle. Granted its a large target but I am extremely new to this. I fired 6 shots with my Savage 111 LRH in 338 Lapua while my shooting partner shot 8 out of his 110 BA hitting the target 4 times at 1500 yards. For a stock rifle and a couple amateurs I am amazed at what these factory rifles can do at such extreme ranges. As if the day could not possibly get any better, we spotted a lone coyote out in the field on our way out of the hills and got set up. we ranged her at 870 yards, doped the scope and that 300gr. Berger Tactical OTM made a nice little hole right through her head. I realize luck had the biggest part of that shot but I cannot help but be ecstatic with the results. after all, 6 months ago I thought 300 yards was a long shot! :) Savage 111 LRH 338 Lapua Nightforce NXS 8x32x56 300 Gr. Berger Tactical OTM 89.5 Gr. Retumbo 2670 fps 3.750" OACL [/QUOTE]
