[QUOTE="Keystone7mm, post: 3057248, member: 126853"] Today was definitely a bucket list day. I went out to a friend's house where they have steel set from 100 yards all the way to 1 mile. We shot several guns, but my focus was on my 7 Rem Mag. It is a custom job built by Accuracy Systems in Byers, CO on an old Remington 700 action. The barrel is a stainless 29" Criterion tube with a 1-7" twist. Today I was shooting my 190 grain A-tip plinking load over Retumbo going 2870 fps. It was a beautiful day, and I started out at 600 yards and worked out to 1075 before setting the gun aside to rest and let others shoot. Later I shot at 1153 yards, and then jumped to 1650. I had to play with my dope a bit, but found both targets. I decided to try 1 mile. 1st shot elevation was great, but missed just right of the plate. Second shot I overcompensated for the wind and missed just left. Elevation was good. I settled in on 4 MOA of left windage and let her rip again and celebrated as the hit indicator lit up! One more shot and I was in the middle of the plate. What a great afternoon, doing what I love to do with great friends. Thank you to everyone on this site for the knowledge I have gained over the years! It payed off today in a big way. [/QUOTE]
