Love my 260 AIThis is a pretty typical group for this rifle in decent field conditions. 822 yards, 156 EOL out of my .260AI. View attachment 241322
825 yards, 2 3/4 inch 4-6 inch at 1100 yards wear we do our trueing 300 win custom proof 28 inch carbon fiber 215 gr hybrids with H-1000 many moose, boos, sheep and black tails and bears down to his rigHi, from New Zealand! I was shooting a fairly new custom 65-284 last weekend and got a 2 1/2 three shot group at 543 metres. 50 odd rounds down the tube.
I shoot off a bipod and bag but this time it was a jacket for the rear rest.
My 18 year old son shot a group just under 3" 20 minutes later at the same distance using my rifle.
Load is 130 VLDH 51.5gr ADI 2209 which is the H4350. @ 3025 FPS. Waiting for the barrel to shift gears as cut rifle barrels usually do and see another 100 FPS or thereabout.

By the way the rifle and I are handicapped, lefty
It will be great to hear/see what you good folk consider a good group that will be inside the (kill zone) in field conditions at 600,800 and 1000 yards from a long range hunting rig.
Wow you guys are making me feel bad Do you give lessons. That's some good shooting.
Off topic but how's that kestrel and Leica working together. Thinking of getting that set-up.I like doing the same. Stick a target and drive away till I find a suitable spot to shoot from. Range using a Leica that talks to my Kestrel elite and try to get the wind right and shoot.
