Did you find the Berger bullet in the dirt?

What did the shape of the bullet look like after it hit the sheet of metal?

 

[CA48]

Congrats on pushing the limits. How was it spotting bullet splash at that distance?
I shoot in some plowed fields in central tx and west tx. Pretty easy to spot for me at 2000 yds on level ground, but being about 15 to 20 in the air would be nice.

MMERSS what twist barrel do you have? If you don't have a stability factor over 1.8 and under 2.0 you may not have much luck keeping the bullet stable at that distance

No I did not recover a projectile and I looked for 30 minutes nearly. I have found plenty at my 2000 yard area and they look like they could dang near be reloading and fired again! Just the meplats are opened slightly and rifling grooves.

Seeing the splash was easy. They had plowed about 2 weeks prior in the field I was in and the adjacent field behind the plate was in an off rotation and had tall Johnson grass

I have two 338LMs, One with a 9 and one a 10 twist. This doesn't seem to make any difference. Both push 300 OTMs around 2800.

Hmmm that is interesting. I have shot in altitude and at sea level past 2500 yards with my current gain twist and my short 22" Schneider barrel and both shot great from 2740 to 2820 fps

OTM?

 

[115vld]

Yes the 300 hybrid otm

 

[Erik Kiser]

What app on your iphone did you use to verify distance

 

[115vld]

It's called distance measure. Was within a yard of the terrapin

 

[bowstryder]

That's some good stuff Maverick!! And ya sold me on the terrapin too.

Bowstryder I have picked up 3990 in perfect conditions with it. For the money it's hard to beat
