[@PracticalAccuracy]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/mn-5gmWvft-Mgbc (thumbnail change) Video addresses whether it it repeatable to score hits at 1000 yards with Iron sights and how to do so.

[@Suebian53]

Good shooting! I posted a 1000 yard iron sight video as well with my M1917 Enfield. Fundamentals are key.

[@PracticalAccuracy]

Nice shooting. Do you think it will go out farther?

[@Suebian53]

@@PracticalAccuracy I bet I could push it to 1 mile on my best day.

@@Suebian53 Mark and sam after work has a good video on measuring your rear sight to get you closer to the target faster.

The official NRA long range 800-1000 yard target is 44". That's a 4.4 MOA target at 1000 yards, or from a perspective, it would be equal in apparent size to a 4.4" target 100 yards away. A 3/16" dot placed 12 feet away will appear approximately the same size as a 44" bull at 1000 yards. Very very noticeable and easily aimed at. This should be common knowledge for all shooters. I hear the "you can't even see a target 1000 yards away" all the time. I suppose of you're legally blind this is true.

What your set zero before starting this? I'm buildin a 25 inch heavy barrel 5.56 to shoot irons with just well lol because.. and I'm lookin for a good zero for that long of a barrel to see how far I can get out before needing to really adjust my holds.

[@PracticalAccuracy]

I use either a 25 yard or 15 yard zero. Then i confirm my windage at 100 yards. I have actually played around with a 5 yard zero for extreme long distance.

[@Gideon94NC]

Was this with M855 or M193 ammo? And what were the weather and wind conditions if you got ‘em?

[@PracticalAccuracy]

this was with 77 gr. black hills TMK. have not tried 55 or 62 grain. it was a little windy, but blowing from 12:30 and constant so that helped. 80 degrees and 1000 feat above sea level.

[@Gideon94NC]

@@PracticalAccuracy Nice! Wasn’t sure if you were using the lower grain weights at that distance, I assumed it had to be 62gr or higher to carry enough energy and velocity out past 700yds and through any wind. I’m interested if you can make that with 62gr and 55gr, would be pretty tough if there’s anything conditions other than a head or tail wind.

[@PracticalAccuracy]

@@Gideon94NC i agree. i would like to try with 62, but I think 55 would be extremely difficult
