Took it to 1000 yds on a steel silohuette for the first time this weekend. Load was a 29.7 gr of AA2520 under a 123 amax. The load chrony's at 2650fps out of a 24" .264 BHW barrel.
It was the first time for me to hit 1k with my own rifle and once I got on target it was 5 for 7 with the 2 misses having good height but missing left and right of the neck. I was aiming high to try to knock the larue over but it would just teeter.
The verticle spread was about 5-6" and the horizontal spread more like a foot. 13 mph and I don't know a thing about judging it, so I just kept holding a little more until I got on target.
