extreme range 1000 yards

Post by varget204 »

On 6-22 after shooting low krieger group,adjusted scope on critreion .Did not see 1'st shot hit,shot again saw 2'nd shot hit.I lowererd scope 15" --BIG MISTAKE :( and shot 3 ,4,5.Wind blew #5 and #6.Aim point was 25-27" left of group.After shooting 1,2,3,4 i think it may be possible to shoot 1/2 MOA group at 1000 yards.If you overlay shoots 1,2 and 3,4,5 you can see what i mean.Wind picked up again ;but was steady,shot last 3 shots of the day;the wind blew group 46" right.At 1000 yds there were 3 red 3" spots evenly spaced on plate,i was shooting at middle spot.Wind is HUGE factor at this range
