Ep. 3 Zeiss Sub-Moa at 1 mile challenge.

[@WhatLiesAwaitUS]

TWICE? My man with no big names, smackin the plate not once, but 2 times! 😲 Lucky, better conditions or wtfe, that's absolutely crazy. Very cool to witness. Especially cool that he's not some over sponsorshiped pro. Thanks for sharing

[@mancaveedc7596]

Like Mr “6 out of 5” prediction lol

[@0101-s7v]

Being one of the first shooters, he made it look easy, which made all of the other shooters look "bad" by comparison. The truth is, hitting a target over 5000 feet away is extremely difficult and the fact that he hit it twice in a row really IS quite impressive.

[@wilsonrawlin8547]

@@mancaveedc7596 LOL! Where did his shots go? I never saw an impact marker.

[@XRING]

@wilsonrawlin8547 We didn’t either .

[@JimYeats]

@@mancaveedc7596I think that was a bit of a self depreciating joke. It didn’t seem like either Hornady shooter shot long range and they knew it. Just having fun.

[@tikkasako6.5]

I was excited to see the forum was Clinton House. In 2023 that reprobate Mike Sexton talked me into 1760 within 5 shots handling a factory-vanilla Sako S20 flying 6.5 PRC handloads, sighted through an Arken 24x. He treated us like Marine boot campers, and it worked! Seems like Team 'fueled by' Hornady may need some fresh meat. Haha! Great forum, keep it up.

[@t_qwheezzyy]

Absolutely some great folks down there. Mike met up with me for half a day and got my feet wet at 1,000 yards with my .308. He definitely helped me to shoot more accurately in the hours that I had with him. I plan on heading back before too long for a refresher and learn some more.

Thanks for having the shots spotted in the video. It's a lot of extra work, I'm sure. Hats off to the shooters 👏. Glad to see a budget setup.

[@mrbrown3546]

Would've been nice if it was consistent and for everyone, honestly pointless unless it's every shot from every person. Could save a little and not add target hits, just the missed shots.

[@XRING]

I’m not following . All strings are recorded start to finish. If there isn’t a marker it’s because no one saw the bullet impact.

[@mrbrown3546]

@@XRING so they were that far off. Not a good look at all, especially for the 'sponsored professionals'. I'm not saying I could make those shots, but I don't do it for a profession.

[@robinepps7274]

Dwayne is hard to beat in ELR! Damn nice guy, I always enjoy shooting against him!

[@Tomcat088]

I’m enjoying watching this series and will continue to watch. I’ve been a bit surprised (probably shouldn’t be) to see some ungodly nice equipment and then some pretty unsound fundamentals. I was really cheering for Sandra and expected a lot after they said she was a Kahles shooter. While she wasn’t quite slapping the trigger, there was definitely no follow through. Some of the guys that couldn’t quite get a hit on target have grouped ridiculously well, and I know it’s very difficult to spot your own misses and correct for yourself under time constraints (especially in the rain). Regardless, great shooting and a very fun watch.

[@CashmereJungleLord]

Man what a great video Ray! Finally good to see someone get that second impact.

[@tylernestor2431]

Nice to see another long range shooting competition on a private channel. Texas Plinking is starting a trend.

[@wanttopreach]

Ge, I did this same shot with my 303 British with a flip up stock site when I was 12 years old! I was instructed how to make the shot by my father who was a spotter that transmitted the aim info through his Navajo code talker to the off shore destroyers. He was the real soldier on the island of Sipan. Unlike the movie he lived to the age of 72.

[@JasonKa1noa]

@X-RING great start to the series. One thing I’d like to see is a more standard/consistent list of questions asked regarding the rifles. Ie: chassis, action, barrel length, velocity, etc.

[@XRING]

Thanks Jason. I appreciate the feedback!

[@Helcat338]

Great show

[@jillianmccauley1308]

Im loving all the South Cakalakis on this episode

[@MrGsteele]

Crosswinds are a bugaboo - not only does a crosswind at any point on the flight path deflect the bullet, but if the crosswind is consistent, it continues accelerating the bullet laterally the longer the bullet flight, so that the dispersion grows both angularly and dynamically with distance, in a horizontal arc. Hats off to long-range shooters.

[@toast47624]

Excellent advise Joe.

[@waldemarb.3108]

Great work!

[@DonaldHelms-c3m]

Absolute fantastic viewing for an old man

[@drd1924]

That Desert Tech 338 sure shoots nice

[@Z33Garage]

6.5 at that distance I bet the bullets became hyper unstable due to passing subsonic. I love my 6.5 but it's the wrong tool for this particular range IMO. Fantastic episode!! Can't wait for the next

[@SigmaBallistics]

That’s mostly a myth, unless you are running the ragged edge of stability in the first place. The problem is the internet makes people think the creed is some magic cartridge. You cannot beat physics, large front surface area and heavy calibers will dominate beyond 1,000 everytime. A 6.5 anything has no business for any sort of serious work at a mile.

[@Z33Garage]

@@SigmaBallistics what is a myth? The bullet becoming unstable as it passed through the sound barrier as it slows down?? I have heard that heavier magnum rounds are effected less by this issue with lighter bullets.

[@SigmaBallistics]

@@Z33Garage it's a myth that most bullets will just become unstable and start tumbling upon transitioning into subsonic. This is rarely an issue, unless like I said, the bullet is very poorly stabilized in the first place. I doubt the issue with the 6.5's connecting to the mile target in this video was related to tumbling, just mostly lack of experience and a very poor choice for ELR.

[@Z33Garage]

@@SigmaBallistics ahh ok fair. I have heard from several KZbin LR guys that generally you want to stay within the sonic flight of the bullet for best effect. I agree the 6.5creedmor is probably not the best choice for a round for a mile compared to a magnum cartridge.

[@SigmaBallistics]

@@Z33Garage ideally you want to stay above mach 1.2, below that is when a little bit of transonic unpredictability occurs with ballistics solvers. Only workaround is a custom drag profile from a radar or some tweaking with DSF factor in the solver.....but with ELR you have no choice but to deal with it. Best workaround that we know of is a tried and true projectile that is known to transition well, and to up the stability to around an sg of around 2 (even up to 2.5-3 with solids). but yeah, the biggest thing in ELR is being able to spot your misses, this where the big 375-416 caliber projectiles really shine, they produce so much more splash than a 30 cal or even a 338 for that matter. the difference is massive. if you can't see where you last impacted you are just pissing in the wind.

[@Vikingman2024]

Really kind of Rick Porter to give the binoculars to Sandra Orvig, nice! Hope they both do better next time, "A" for effort.

After the Black guy shot. Nobody made any scope corrections or adjustments. Only at the beginning they make adjustments. Interesting Video. Thanks X Ring.

Thanks Brian and thanks for watching. Not everyone will dial the correction . Many shooters will hold the correction in the reticle if they spot the miss.

It's a great cartridge if you stay within its limitations. I'm not a 6.5 hater. But like you said, it's a mile.
