Yeah I'm with cowtown guy , 260.
How about doubling at least the size to 20" ? Free handing 10" at 200 yards is challenging enuff( pretty doable , just requires some practise, but ), 9x scopes at 500 on a 10" er will be hard to see probably. Not to mention irons |

youve got to be kidding only a fabulist like edmhunter is going to talk about meeting this challenge. more pages of ao hot air

I want the CHALLENGE to be a "real challenge" but not to be so difficult that nobody tries ... if there is some consensus, I would post a new CHALLENGE thread ... with the circle being
20" ...is that more realistic? The important thing here is get some shooting done and have fun! |

Been so much acrimony in this thread, kind of takes the fun out of it so I am now thinking we might get maximum participation at 300M ... at least until spring. Feedback? |

I'm gonna head out to SPFGA tomorrow as it will be warm and I will shoot at 300m and try for some groups. Is anyone willing to come for an attempt as well?

After looking at the 100m standing off hand challenge I will be very surprised if many make the cut. This probably is the most difficult challenge 260 Rem has posted yet.

This was a open challenge to shoot according to the parameters set, and a classy move by the OP. Fairly straight forward. Why not encourage participation? Of all members here? It is a poor representation of shooting sports and the shooting community to discourage participation of any kind, or bully someone into a corner. Let it go. You have more than said your piece. Let the results and posted targets, whatever they may look like, speak for themselves. R. |
This 500 yd Challenge stands, AMENDED with target size permited to 24" (or less if you so choose). Must have borders. Have some fun!

Seeing as how the 300 yard challenge was getting some attention, and the 500yard challenge, not so much, I decided to give this a go over the weekend.
I shot from the bench to adjust for elevation, and then used the 24" diameter circle. 5 shots were taken at the targets. Three managed to find their way into the circle. I will post up pictures of the target and rifle tonight after work. R. |
Sounds like a great start. It would be nice to see some trying the 24" target but I expect not many as most recreational shooters are hard pressed to find distances beyond 300.

OK! Pictures are here!

Not sure why they are crooked and upside down?

Assuming that is a 45-70, I completely understand you needed to wait a couple of days to post, to give the bullets time to arrive at 500 yds :). But, seriously, that is darned good even off the bench for that rig. Nice shooting.
|
Nice shooting and nice rifle!
|
Thanks guys!
The rifle is a Model 94 in 38-55, with a bit of work done to it... R. |
i was impressed by the 300 yard one by Bergerboy i'm astounded by the 500 yard target
nice work |
What is even more amazing is if you use an extremely long 200 yard zero for a 38-55, the standard 255gr flat nosed bullet and a ripping 1600ft/second, the shooter would have to be aiming roughly 185" or 15.5 feet above the target. It would also be interesting to see if any of that target is left unobscured by the front blade of the sight.

A 38-55 hitting at 500 yards? Geeze, trying to shame everyone into trying? Lol. excellent shooting
|
Nice shooting!
LC |
The more I look into this 38-55 tack driver the more amazed I get! This bullet goes transonic at 265 yards! I cannot believe that maintain stabilized flight for the remaining 245 yards and none have keyholed through the target!
