[QUOTE="tacomHQ, post: 1942020, member: 67159"] Is it practicle? no. Does it provide data? Yes Do I need data to shoot 1000yds, 2000yds, 2500yds? Was that data available 20yrs ago? I was not there for this shot but I was there for the 6000yd shot. To note: once the bullet impact was found it took 6 shots to hit the 1moa steel plate. In case you are noting "find the impact" at that distance the solver was approximately 150yds off (it was also off by similar numbers on a second caliber and bullet). Try finding a bullet landing is scrubby desert that is 150yds from where it is supposed to be. To also note the bullets were arriving nose first. The wind hold was nearly a foot ball field to the right with a 17sec time of flight. Costs: most of us are using the tail end of "cost" already spent by someone to prove or obtain data. A few weeks ago we went 8 for 8 at 1820yds using two different guns and calibers- both cold bore (in front of multiple observers). Without the ballistic data it would not have been possible, along with the chrono, bullets, platform, powder etc... each one representing way north of the $50k noted in research to make the shot. I would not be so inclined to negate this- Paul and others in the group are passionate and anal when it comes for preparation. What is not shown or described is the really important stuff. I promise you things not seen or experienced by any others was noted. Potentially infinitely worthwhile data. I can say we were outside all of the books out there written on long range. It is also interesting the number of rounds that were within 1moa of the target. One of which I still cannot figure out how it missed the plate. From a engagement viewpoint- I would not want three of four Paul's and the equipment used to engage me at 6000 yds. I will stop what I am doing and exit the area. If I am not dead. All of the equipment was at its edge of capability. Some of the equipment being used/presented a first time. Equipment built specifically to make the shot possible. We built the boxes in front of the scope allowing the system to function north of 600moa. The present requirement was 900moa. In final I am here for Paul- he is a just plain good guy and no matter what the rifle event is I would be picking him as a first. [/QUOTE]
