922 YDS, wow that quite a poke. Good shooting.
Did it take you only one shot.
Way to make that Wheeler rifle preform.
Keep up the good work.
The 425 yds is a great shot also.

I shot just over his back at 985, which tells me that my load is going out of tune from throat erosion. After reranging, I held a 1/2 minute low and centered him.

How many rounds down the barrel.
What load do you shoot in that thing?

What a long range hammer.
On another forum, I read your comment on a nitride barrel.
Have. You heard of any other nitride barrels acting the same way?
I am thinking of having a barrel and and action nitrided.

I only know of one other nitrided barrel on a 300 WM. It has maybe 200 rounds and looks pristine. Interestingly, my new CZ 457 in 17 HMR has a nitrided barrel. I'm sure I'll never wear it out even though I shoot it a lot.

 

[DSheetz]

I have a nitrided barrel on one of my 7.62x39 AR's and a couple of my 5.56x45 AR's are as well they would run a few thousand rounds any way without a problem. I did notice that the 17 HMR's I've had need cleaned more often, one of them copper fowled really fast and I never did get it to stop fowling, even by hand lapping it, about twenty rounds is all it would ever shoot well.

What scopes are you using to shoot across 3 time zones?

I'm using a Maven RS4 on both the 30-28 and the 25 creed.

772 yard this morning with the big 30!

Great picture. Thanks.

How much windage did you need?

How much windage did you need?

It was a pretty easy wind call. 5 mph at about 11:30, so 12.5 U and 1.0 L and it centered him perfectly.
