Hard to believe

[Gcan]

I read on another forum that a long time user and shooter claims he is making consistent shots on prairie dogs at 850 yards with his AR 223 shooting 40 and 50 grain bullets ! He then said he is making these shots in 30 mph crosswinds !! I find this impossible to believe but I wanted to ask all of you if you have ever seen anyone perform this feat ? I did not call him out because I did not want to embarrass him for his canard , especially if it's not personal. My only thought was magic bullets !

Agree. Hard to believe. Would like to see his rangefinder.

I think we have to realize......Some people are a "Legend In Their Own Mind"!

LOL maybe his rangefinder is busted!

I recall Kim Jon Il (North Korea) saying the one time he played golf he had 18 holes in one and never played again.

I shoot one hole groups everytime I go shooting....and it doesn't matter what range it is.........until I shoot the 2nd shot.

I'm thinking two typos: he meant to say 85.0 yards with a 3.0 mph wind.
If I started to believe these "unbelievable" claims, I would not be happy when I pull off a cloverleaf at 100 yards.

Now what does driving off the interstate have to do with shooting ? Lol

Reminds me of Paul Harvey Quote "The Rest of the Story" I don't know how many will remember listening to Paul Harvey, he was a daily must for me.

Paul Harvey....... God Day!
Grew up listening to him.
That and Harry Carrey singing Take me Out to the Ballgame at all the Cubs games.

my AR-15 pdog rig shoots 1/3" at 100 yds with 40gr going 3500 fps
out past 350 yds those little bullets are going all over the place
I shoot in Colorado and Wyoming wind

This may be the most ridiculous post I've read on this great site.

Did he mention the brand of his AR and ammo, I'm in desperate need of them both

I'm a competitive handgun shooter and I've seen the same type of stuff on other forums. Guys talking about shooting 1" groups off hand with stock or slightly modified pistols at 50 yards. It made me start to doubt my manhood till I realized it was all rubbish.

probably a bushmaster with iron sights shooting privi partizan

Ya, never even heard of such a thing. It would seem you would be high angle almost behind you using the wind and unicorn magic to get it there.

I was a member of Varmint Hunter for years and read many articles about shooting out that 850 yard and further with the 223. They had pictures of shots like that and I have to believe the stories were true. If I had the time I would go through a few of them just to post but I have shelves full of them, think I'm only missing a few of them because I was a life member, and not the time. Would love to sell the whole lot if anyone is interested.

I think the pics were of the hits and NOT the many misses.
