Two things I learned about 4K yard ranges: 1) Bring plenty of ammo. 2) Bring a good spotter. Oh, and 3) Hang your target with 4 chains, just in case.

[@olanormann1725]

Awesome stuff. Whenever I see a new video from you two it really makes a positive impact on my day. And I'm sure I'm not the only one feeling like that. And really interesting the lead core 338 needing less elevation than calculated. Excited to see if the same thing applies to the 30 cal and 7mm too.

Of all the shooting i search, you two practically sit at the pinnacle of precision longggggg range. Half MOA shot at over 2 miles… elite sniper skill. Thanks for sharing. P.S. it’s awesome that you’re 6.5 CM of choice for nearly a 2 mile shot is Howa. Basically if you’re using a rifle in your videos, it HAS to be top notch.

Hey Mark you are a great .... For me you are a point of reference ... I started this sport for 1 year and I get more and more passionate about it. I started with 200 meters now I went to 500 meters, my goal is 2000 meters, although I think it will be hard with my Sabatti in 6.5 x 47 lapua. Whatever happens the more the challenges are impossible the better it is ... 😁😁😁. I'm considering buying your adjustable base for the rear bag because I think it can help me achieve my goal ... I look forward to your next venture bye 👋 bye.

[@markandsamafterwork]

Hi Ferdinando, great to hear you are getting out there, yes our bases do help most people in their shooting consistency, and yes that would be a tall order for that round, 1500 may be a little more attainable, but half the fun is finding the limits, all the best for the New Year, Cheers

Mark that wind was tough certainly NOT a steady wind. How do you like your TRG? I was looking at that rifle when I was shopping for my .338 Lapua but they had just got some large military contract and they were over a year out on delivery, I ended up getting a custom built Lapua with 700 action with a Hart barrel 29" and I run the same Nightforce as you do. I have been shooting all Lapua brass of course and 300 gr. SMK bullets at just under 3000 FPS. Great shooting on your part and your spotter does a great job! I cant wait to get out again but our temps in ND have been highly variable from -25 F to 57 F the other day. Take care and thanks for posting I will be watching!

[@markandsamafterwork]

Hi Michael, the likes of the bullet trace/vapour trail is only something you see out to around 1500 yards, can not see at these extreme distances, Cheers and all the best.

[@michaelgoodman1348]

Thanks for answering my question. It's always good to learn something new. Have a great day.

[@Randpage]

I'm sorry if this is a dumb question but do you have to take into account the Coriolis effect at such a range? And if so how do you account for it?

[@meboyd7796]

Don't know if you picked it up or not, but the "did not see" at around the 6:30 mark is was to the right, about 2/3 of the way to the tree. You must have picked up quite a bit of extra wind somewhere on that shot.

Am wondering if any extreme range shooters are putting high-speed gyros in their guns. Go on target, press switch, fire up the gyros... and the rife would stay pretty steady.

Does the Spotting Scope have a MIL/MOA Reticle? I think you might have an easier time having Sam walking you in with MIL/MOA corrections and then trying 3 shot groups when you are close so you aren’t chasing the wind as much. I think you would have an easier time getting a custom Base made and do away with that Charlie contraption, but that’s just me. The less complicated the less things that can throw you off.

Wrap that up to the "Right" (boring US political crap) using you guys as a talking point. Most Americans are greatly misinformed for a reason, but being fair this isn't the norm for your country right? And it is rather difficult (in regards to the complete ease of obtaining firearms in certain States) to obtain certain firearms if I'm not mistaken. America is a pretty decent place to live, but the people that be have great tendencies to, well, lie and manipulate in order to create certain circumstances. I for one am happy that so many of "us" are miss-informed on this one xD. Cheers.

Great shooting Mark! Why don’t you trying changing your target size to your distance. Example 4000 yards 40” target keeping it to around shooting 1 moa out to distance. Most of the ELR matches out here in the states shoot 1 moa to 2 moa size targets.

[@markandsamafterwork]

Thanks Man, well yes that would make this a lot more achievable, but, well that is a bit the point, we are not about making more hits on a reasonable size target, this is about hitting a 24" plate at what ever range that may be (beyond 1000 yards, tend to use a 12" below 1500 or so). FYI, we are not in to competitions or records, this is just our own limits we are pushing with challenges we set our selves, its good fun too. Also, I have never found anything gets bigger as it gets further away, that's just a way of making things more achievable not more realistic, but that said, each to there own. Thanks for the suggestion and I hope our lots of near misses does drive you too crazy, Cheers and all the best.

[@Mikepower1978]

For me, Marks point of difference is His complete honesty in His task. He is looking to appraise all aspects of the engineering involved. To me, the single most obvious differentiator Mark Has is the 24inch plate. Mark has consistently acheived beyond anything else I've come across in ELR because He will not compromise the task. He dares to imagine. Thanks for all your great work Mark and Sam.
