Set elevation for the furthest out you can, then do the math and make corrections for 1000 yds. Windage will be tough that is a good distance to travel, so wind and temp etc....That all comes into play. |

I'd love to give it a try with my Mosin.

I tried one year with my AR. I think if I had some heavier loads I might have gotten it. Its hard to say. I had open sights then and I aimed really high. I think I pulled a little to the left too but it was windy that day. Hard to say. Patty |

I would venture that he is not. I would try it with a Mosin or a, 8mm Mauser. The sights are graduated for it. So it shoots 1 MOA that would be 10" at 1000 yds at a 25" TV. Plus if you could pull that off you would need a tactical wheel barrow to carry your balls home. |

Patty, that sounds like fun! I can imagine what an uproar of the sheeple and the gun grabbers this would create if they did this in CT. Since most of the cities and towns here have ordinances about discharging firearms. I gotta move.

It'd be fun with a Garand, I think the sights are graduated out to 1200 yards. So 1000 should be easy, right?

As far as MIL-SURPS go I would say the K31 would be the best suited. The surplus ammo is match grade and the balistics are really good. |

I could maybe do it with my Finn Mosin m39 it would have to be 90% luck. Given perfect conditions, the sights and the bullet would get me there. But I've never targeted anything out that far, so like I said 90% luck.

The rear sight is graduated out to 2,000 meters, although I'd have to find something close to the original military loads for which it was graduated (does Wolf FMJ work in that role?).
Well, hell, I already do

certainly, I still need to work up a load for the SVT to see how accurate it really is. considering it was shooting 3moa with czech surplus I think it should be good to go with handloads |

24" bbl'd AR15 shooting 77grn SMK (hot-loads), you'll need around 35 minutes of elevation from your 100 yard zero, (note: this is in good air or lite wind conditions; windage for the shot will require on-site/at the time of the shot doping, but the elevation should be within 1/2 min up or down).
Suggest ya have a mil-dot scope, for the windage adjustment. Mike |

Yes, it is rather comical that the town is actually the ones promoting this contest. I can see the TV at 1000 yards but I can't see where my bullet hit unless it actually hit the TV, then I can hear it and see the impact. When I shot at it with my AR [I tried twice with my AR] My husband watched with the spotting scope. When I shot with my Weatherby, I had a scope on it. I should say that this is done out on a local farmers ranch. Not in town! |

Look online for the ballistics info on whatever caliber you are using, then try to adjust your scope for 1000 yds. If you don't have that much adjustment, get as close as you can and use Kentucky Windage to make up for the rest of the drop.
The main thing you need to do is figure out exactly how much the bullet will drop at that distance. |

Is there any literature on that already produced? My husband reloads. I know he adds a tinc extra to our AR loads and I have no idea what he does for the weatherby. Fat McNasty sent me some hot bullets for my AR that David loaded for me. However they're inconsistance in size so I would suspect they would be difficult to predict. I guess it doesn't matter, I can't compete this year anyway. Its hard not to get excited about it though. |

Could you figure that from velocity, distance, and gravitational acceleration, or would the air resistance fuck that figure up? |

[#24]
You should be able to find ballistics info for just about any load with enough searching. You could always just use the muzzle velocity, weight, and ballistic coefficient and do your own calculations. There's a formula you can use to figure it all out. Google should produce some answers. |

|
|
Posted: 4/13/2006 7:36:04 AM EDT
[#25]
You have to add in the ballistic coefficient which is basically how streamlined a bullet is. Like I said above, there is a complex formula you can use that will get you pretty close to the actual drop. |

atmospheric drag is a factor, because it degrades your velocity figure pretty quickly |

Awesome shot Patty.
I wish I had a range that I could shoot 1000 yards at. Longest distance I have shot is 600 yards but it was actually the 300 yd line at a highpower match using a garand and reduced size 600 yd targets. It was lots of fun though. I would think that at 1000 yds the affects of wind drift would be the biggest unknown/problem. |

Question,
Can you use any rifle or is there a restriction on which type. If any was an option. Someone should pull this one out.

What is the brand and type of ammo?
Using the published Muzzle Velocity, the ballistic coeffcient, you should be able to determine the trajectory at 1,000, and properly adjust your scope. ETA- I just read that your hubby handloads. He should have a good idea about the MV. |

7,300 bucks worth of .50BMG goodness, before putting glass on it. Semiauto, 10 round mag, with a muzzlebrake that reportedly reduces recoil to around that of a 12 gauge. Used by the .mil to shoot at equipment (truck engines, electronics and the like), and for the truly 1337, human targets at ranges of a mile or more. Basically the 'holy grail' of evil guns you can buy before getting into class III stuff. |

if you use an AR you are going to atleast want 90gr bullets for 1000yrds.
As for 77gr SMKs bouncing off the paper at 600Yds. A proprely loaded 77gr is still supersonic at 600yrds. |

The English SMLE's(also known as Lee-Enfields) are also graduated out that far. Just make sure you are using the 174-grain load of the original. |

Unless you use an AR that shoots 150gr 7.62x51 rounds.

Is that IMR 4831, or Hodgdon 4831? What is range is your rifle zeroed at? Or is it hitting 1" high at 200 or something like that? |
