Longest successful shot

[danypattt]

Hello everyone, I'd love to know the farthest (verified range) hit on target you've accomplished?
On a friend's farm we've set various steel targets. The longest are 550 yards and are 18" x 30" steel torso's and 18" x 12" steel plates.
I've rung them fairly regularly with my .25-06 and some .308 hunting rifles and AR's.
Being a surveyor, I verified the range with my total station and also use it as a spotting scope since it has a 30x scope. It's a lot of fun to watch the bullet hit the target, call a hit and then wait a few seconds for the ring.

Several at one mile on 19x19" and 24x24", and the longest I have shot is 2,000yds on 24x24" and 30x36"

We shoot a lot of 1,000yd on 10" circle plates.

Got me beat. All I got is a double prairie dog at 720yds.

Furthest cold bore first round hit on a 24x24 steel plate was 1417 yds with a 338 edge. I have had hits out to 2070 yds with the edge but not cold bore first round.

Several. On the 1,000yd targets, I've used 223 fast twist, 22/250 and AI fast twist, 243, 6mmAI, 25-06, 260 AI, 300RUM etc, and on the 1 mile targets, I've used 22/250 AI fast twist, 6mm varieties, 300RUM, 338's, and the 2,000 yd was 300 RUM and 338's.

Edit: Forgot my 308's, as we shot a lot of Palma and 1,000yd prone with those and others.

Cold bore, clay pigeon with one of my .308s at 1000 yards. Obviously a little luck involved.
