Sounds like a blast no pun intended. Your smiles tell it all. Congrats on a great day at the range. Thanks for sharing.

Which bullet were you shooting out of the creedmoor?

The creedmoor was loaded with 140 grain Hornady match bullets, h4350 powder and federal 210's. The 7prc was loaded with Berger 180 hybrid targets, Retumbo powder and federal 215's. To get the 7 prc out to 1754, we dialed the scope up 41.5 moa and used the athlon prs style reticle to make up the 20 moa difference

My daughter came down from Idaho for a visit so I rounded up, her, my son and myself to reserve a slot up at Cameo for some long range steel plate shooting. The two rifles that are my most accurate are a straight jacket barreled action using a zermatt origin action and their barrel in 6.5 creedmoor with a vortex razor hd lht scope along with a Remington 700 LR in 7mm prc using an athlon chronus btr scope 4.5x29x56 scope. All three of us made it to 1000 yards with very few misses on both rifles, the 1000 yard plate was 18x24, those hits were verified by the RO so we received a certificate and our names will go on record. At that point we decided to drop the creedmoor as there wasn't enough adjustment in the scope and went directly to the 7 prc. The goal was to go straight to the 1754 yard 24x24 plate. My son made the shot in 5 rounds fired, my daughter didn't make it and we ran out of time so I didn't get a chance. The shot required a 61.5 moa hold over and 2 MOA drift, the shot was 6 yards short of a mile, it was only witnessed by my daughter and me so he won't go on record for it. Hunting this year for me was disappointing, I coughed up 14 points to go into a trophy unit and walked out with nothing but today, today being with my two adult kids made me feel better than any shot I ever took on big game.View attachment 629683View attachment 629684View attachment 629685View attachment 629686
