500 yards BlackJack Challenge #6

[@shermrock345]

Your black jack challenge and Texas plinking 1000 yard 1moa challenge are the best shows on KZbin

[@ErikCortina]

Thank you

hats off to all the shooters, it takes a lot of humility to come put yourself and your mistakes on camera for all the world to see. Thanks for the good sportsmanship! love this series

[@jackamelung8705]

@@ErikCortina i always wonder how good your eyesight has to be to see a 2" target through a peep at 500 yds. i guess you could calculate gaps between and just imagine where it would be ?

[@morgan6749]

First time i shot 1000 yard, was a practice day, and TR/palma shooters were there, super impressive watching them hit V bulls all day with peep sights... thats close....

[@Whithersoeverthougoest]

@@ErikCortina I’d love to try open sights but I haven’t even shot past 400 yards with the aid of a scope yet lol. I’m just getting into this whole long range shooting. Sure is addicting!

I'll give it try 🤔🤔🤔💪💪💪

[@halledwardb]

Some beautiful traces on this video. Getting my 12 and 15yr daughters into this. .22 Vudo 360 first, then Centerfire next. They seem to like 6 Dasher but we are still not sure yet on caliber. Everyone has been so nice in this sport and helped my daughters out so much. They have gotten so much time behind some many rifles. I'll come down when you set up a barn. Maybe the broad side.

[@US2A]

Many long range videos people have huge freaking targets hitting the steel. The smaller targets is more fun

[@aidenhall9832]

Erik you should go and do Texas Plinkings 1 MOA at 1000 yards challenge.

[@Dr.KennethNoisewater]

Erik! Thanks for all the great videos. I’m brand new to reloading and have a question. I see people agonizing over distance to the lands. I’m trying to figure out why. I understand you need to find the sweet spot as far as seating depth goes and that you need a decent measurement of the lands on your specific rifle. Why does this measurement need to be exact? Actually knowing the exact distance from the lands seems irrelevant to me. But getting a close measurement and starting load development off of that close measurement seems to me all that one would need. It seems like in seating depth testing you would still find the same node and knowing the exact distance from the lands would just be G wiz at that point. Finding a seating depth that works well and replicating it seems like all you have to do. Am I flawed in my reasoning? I know I’m able to get a measurement that accurate within 5 or so thousandths ….if I start at a theoretical 15 off the lands and find a good not working back…is t that good enough to get the same result? Seems like the bullets I want to shoot don’t mind relatively large jumps too. (6.5CM 140 from a few manufacturers)

[@ErikCortina]

Search for “Chasing the lands is stupid”

[@bobberceli6874]

Just an old Sourdough at 60.33 N, One would be lucky to have 9 hrs of shooting light at this time of year. I have to wonder how the score might change if all shooters wore a bill cap to block the sun and the targets were rotated 45 degrees? Go Shoot >>> > X

FYI, don't refer to 2 inch as "small" or "tiny" - it's average

[@US2A]

I just built something cool and I'm feeling cocky.

[@DN-kz7xl]

Another option would be that shooters may choose which target to double up on after reaching the blackjack. Thus someone may choose to use leftover ammo to just shoot at 12 inch or 6 inch target.

[@ErikCortina]

Meh. The idea is to test your limits.

[@DN-kz7xl]

@@ErikCortina Thanks.

[@jeremyarnold1979]

Subbbbbbed!!!! Yep. Iv got a 35 year old remington model 30-06 bdl open shot I'd love to try this at. My rifle has the best open sights iv ever used. But the gun in 35 years has only 135 shots fired thru it since new. I'd need an awful lot of practice before I'd give this a try it's no easy feat with a high power scope so open sights would be like 1 in 1,000,000 that could do that.

[@jeremyarnold1979]

Dang I made a mess lol. It's a remington model 700BDL 30-06. With wood stock.

[@TexasLeverGunner]

I may take you up on the "open sight" challenge one day, depending on what you're calling open sights. About impossible to to hit anymore than maybe the 3rd target, but it would be fun anyways. If a long range soule sight, and aperture would be okay with you anyways.

2nd episode of asking for a 3shot group of each competitor at 100 yards to see how dialed they are with their loads :) please Mr. Eric

[@jeffreypelletier7247]

It’s kinda obvious that if there hitting a 2” plate at 500 I’d dare say there 3/4” groups at the biggest at 100…probably more like 1/2” or better… why is there a need to show 100 yard groups when you whacking 2” at 500 is all I’m saying. Not trying to sound like a dink.. it’s just kinds obvious

[@ErikCortina]

It would take too long to do all of that.

[@696floats]

Some of the shooters don’t hit the 2 inch plate . Also if you can shoot a 1/2 inch group at 100 yards but you can’t get a blackjack that’ll tell us more of how much the wind is playing a factor during that shoot. But then again I don’t know why I’m exposing myself to you who just couldn’t resist to give their opinion.

[@696floats]

Explaining *

[@MrLongshot762]

I've loaded loads for rifles that shot 5 shot groups on a dime at 100. Quarter size at 200, 3" at 250 yards, 1" at 300... Some of the best loads at 100 just don't shoot well at longer range. 100 is a great start but if you don't stretch them out, you could be sadly disappointed
