500 yards Test Your Limits Challenge | BlackJack #4

[@bolson7293]

This round was really fun to watch as they were all benchrest single shot style rifles. Shooting against a timer makes that style of shooting way more interesting! Thanks as always for the videos!

[@ErikCortina]

They swore to come back with repeaters! 💪

[@bloke3006]

Good deal Erik, very fun to watch. I can only imagine how much fun it would be to shoot!

[@ErikCortina]

It's a lot of fun. :)

[@johnseptien3138]

I will have to watch it again to see if the others were doing it but one shooter had zero "cheek weld" and the other thing i noticed was the free recoil no shoulder pressure. Muscle memory thing for BR shooters. One other thing I noticed was the lack of being directly behind the gun...but damn they rocked it! Be careful when they come back, they got one lap on the track and that experience with someone who shoots pressure matches equals podium status. 20:41

[@johntaylor2840]

Man I want to do this challenge. I'm loading 109 bergers for my 6 dasher wishing I lived in Texas. Thanks to Erik and his channel, I got my dasher running 2950 with an ES of 7.92 and under half inch MOA repeatedly. Last 5 shot group was .36 MOA. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, Erik.

That is good as you could ask for.keep em small🎯🖖

This is real fun, and very commendable Mr Cortina. Well done. A friend of mine is going to be organising something similar locally (Malta, Europe). I got a plan to do something for pistols. Would love to see someone giving this a try with the venerable 308 or 6.5 Creedmoor. Cheers and lots of hugs from afar!

Really fun to watch these bench rest shooters. I used to shoot bench rest rimfire matches. Bench rest shooters are gonna need a recliner, air conditioning, a tuner, and 30 minutes between shots for the barrel to cool down!🤣 LOL Props to these guys for showing up and shooting!

So, none of the big talkers with open sights has taken you up on your offer huh. Great challenge, I really enjoy watching it and all the great shooters that give it a try. Hope to see many more of this this year

[@Rico11b]

I'm surprised by how much recoil push I'm seeing from those 6 dashers. Especially considering how heavy the rifles must be with those really long barrels.

[@kinked_chrome1438]

None of them were running brakes though. It looked like they just grabbed there BR rifles and fitted them with a conventional bipod.

[@MrSharky58]

Very sad to see so many people with negative comments about the participants, their technique, the rifles and the content. I thought this was a great episode and if I thought their was some poor techniques I would not be rude enough to mention them unless I could demonstrate that I could do better. I always believe the more skilled the person the more supportive they are in their comments. Those that point out others faults often are trying to bolster their own worth at the expense of others.

[@markbelitz6084]

[@ErikCortina]

Right on

[@stevenwalker9013]

The issue is seeing it. Not sure you can see those last 2 at 500 yards. Especially the last one. Even if you could, the front sight post would completely cover it up and then some. In my opinion it’s impossible

[@multicammando]

Need to do a regular joe sub $2500 rifle setup all in including scopes and see how everyone does.

[@ErikCortina]

Anyone can bring anything they want. I don't specify what rifle they need to bring. All I ask is that they shoot prone with bipod and rear bag.

[@southpaw1995]

To be a bit more fair that last target should be repainted between shooters. The third guy ringed it 3 times even I could barely see the white after lol

[@ErikCortina]

Takes a long time to repaint the targets and the wind would be too different for shooters if we did that. Plus it’s a safety issue having someone down range.

[@SixOFord]

Shooter #3 had his ducks in a row!

[@sappysiggy2351]

Them Boys can shoot! Not much paint left on the 2" after a couple rounds. Get a golf cart and paint after each shooter so I can see it ;)

[@ErikCortina]

It would take too long between shooters and it would be a bigger disadvantage to the last shooter than the paint.

I’m about 9500 miles from you 😅 I wish I can enter this by recording the exact shoot. Almost like working from home 😊

[@buckaroobonsi555]

The first guys problem was that his body fat was getting in the way of his ability to breath. You could tell breathing was an issue. As he became aware of this he got flustered and started to rush. I bet he shoots from a rest most of the time.The 4th guy had the same problem but he handle it better. I was right when I guessed BR guys. Only the 3rd guy was comfortable prone.

[@Knotyourbusiness]

Your kind of an ass for saying that.

[@markbelitz6084]

We are all benchrest shooters and most definitely were out of our comfort zone . Being a fatass like me didn't help , but sun in my eye was really a problem . Enjoyed it though .

[@randysmith8604]

I have a guy I shoot with he has the same problem a little big to be comfortable in prone. I only shoot my hunting rifles this far. 6 inch is not a problem I never tried to shoot something as small as 2inch. Gonna give that a try.

[@Nonedw]

“I bet he shoots from the rest most of the time“… Yes, that’s why they call themselves benchREST shooters.

[@ErikCortina]

They were out of their comfort zone but they did well regardless. It was a fun group of guys.

[@benardo8]

Got totally sucked into that!!!!!!!

[@justinadcock3184]

should probably paint the targets in-between shooters. the 2" target is probably hard to see after being shot 4-5 times and has no white paint left.

I was the last shooter and not making excuses , but the 2" target was not visible . My shots were all a guess .

Hi Eric l just watched Texas Plinking it was ok but not as good as your Blackjack. 500yards targets are more in keeping with us hunting boys with factory rifles. The 1000yard rifles seem to favour the much heavier and more expensive builds.
