Summerland long range shoot-.223 at one mile.

[flotsamthoughts]

nice vid i plan to go rock huntin soon thanks for shareing

[7x57mmMauser]

Was this filmed using an i-potato ?

[XxAnythingRandomXx]

What kind of rifle was used

[trickykwoo2]

I keep reading about humane kills with the 223, well, you can use a .50 cal, if your shot placement isn't good, it doesn't matter still inhumane. Never take a questionable shot at living game. I have never had to take a second shot, first one does it fine if you do YOUR job.

[gaelicwinds]

@Dream308 if you take a head or neck shot the 223 would work but for large game its a retard round

[ivedigga]

This was a waste of time, get a better Video Cam.

[williamcg1979]

It's not just me genius, look the shit up, there are TONS of people who use them for deer hunting. overreact much?

[williamcg1979]

@Dream308 You can shoot deer with a .223 just fine. hell, i take them down all the time with a .243 and that's not a much bigger round. if i can punch a hole though a 1/4" steel spinner target, you can kill a deer with one.

[BDBK666]

Fuck, you people are stupid. This has NOTHING to do with hunting, or weather or not 223 is humane, or can kill at this range. It is about having fun. It is about taking a tiny round and sending it a long long ways, accurately. They are not shooting at anything but a rock. I can 100% guarantee that these guys won't be shooting at animals at this distance. There is a LOT more to the world of shooting then just hunting. Try using your brains guys.

[MrDan747]

With the right handloads, twist barrel rates with 80g projectiles are still supersonic at 1000yards, not by much, maybe 40fps more than speed of sound. So you guys are saying this cant kill at long range? And to note that standard F class shooters have been shooting 5.56 and 7.62 from 300 to 1000 yards. Get into comp target shooting to understand a lil bit about ballistics instead of shooting innocent deer all the time :), thanks for your time

[free00to00ryhme]

@MrDan747 they arent innocent, their meat is so good its illegal which would make them a criminal. lmao a poor joke i know

[Connal84]

For all those criticizing about the .223 not being humane at these distances. If this is the gentleman I think it is, he uses this primarily as a competition rifle, not hunting. Also, he is apparently still holding 800-900 fps at time of impact (if ballistics are correct). Would it be lethal, depending on placement, yes. I for one, wouldn't want to be shot by it.

[rozziboy20]

it been said that obama eats baby's,the us military uses the oll 556 out to 500m for them damn rag heads

[warriorofsteel01]

its been said that 223 loses its killing power past 300 yards.

[221fireball4227]

Not enough energy for HUMANE kills , get bigger guns PLZ .

[221fireball4227]

wtf , its a 223 effective range under 1000 m , i have good scopes and i can barely see yotes at 500m , and if i do get a hit on one past 200m, the coyote usally runs off. Not enough energy in the bullet. Plz guys be humane. Buy a bigger gun.

[manostihl]

A .223 rem or wssm will shoot to 1760 yds with decent accuracy. Shim and zero ur scope to 36in, high at 200 yds This = 0 @ 1450yds click up to 1760. 1mph of wind @ 1760= 3ft of drift. It can be done.And it is deadly at that range

[helpyhandything]

yeah...bout as deadly as a straw...i might kill something

just slowly...vetty vetty slowly

[Poneutria]

"Ode to a Butterfly" by Nickel Creek. Good song.

[jmar1371]

.223 at 1500+ meters. That's pretty funny. Sub-sonic somewhere around 900 meters...

About as accurate as a fart in a tornado.

[TGLymantaiste]

@jmar1371 It will absolutly go that far. Probably wont kill anything. just punched it up on the ballistic puter . 1757 inches of drop at 1500 yds and down to 78 fpe. so not real dangerous. it would probably still piss you off.

[dills2403]

whats the longest shot youve made ? i was wanting this rifle in the .223 for deer hunting was wondering if you think i would put down a deer at 350m

[ChuckAllaway]

@dills2403 i shot a big mule deer at 320 yards with 75 grain hollowpoint, perfect shot, double lungs and it went 15 yards and dropped. dont let these fools tell you its inefective round at long range.

[TGLymantaiste]

@ChuckAllaway 320 is not long range.

[headphones222]

A .308 is much better, 320yds is not really a long way as far as rounds can go.

[ibanezkid07]

@ChuckAllaway you took a mule deer with a 223!

[Blitz4000]

That doesn't sound like a .223. More like a .30-378 weatherby mag.

[Bly86]

You guys ever heard of a magnum? Jesus, you must have your damn scopes shimmed so far there're coming out your noise.

[YOWHATTHEHELLUP71]

this isnt possible

[lcbaudar]

The problem with this vid is we have no idea what he is shooting other than a caliber. What kind of load, what grain bullet, what kind of barrel? etc. etc.

[LoganPowers]

NIckel Creek :) good choice!

[lanwickum]

I seen most of the hits. Poor camera man. Should hold the target toward the bottom of picture and you can offten see bullet trace.

A 223 can shoot a mile and hit targets. The proper setup will go transonic with fair accuracy.

[CHOCO666NSR]

im a .50cal marksman and have been shooting a .50cal since i was like 18 years old and i know how hard it is to hit anything at a mile even with the weight of a tungsten core round, now im not calling you a lair but if it is possible to hit anything with any kind of accuracy at a mile away with a .223? i need to know what kind of rifle, round and glass cuz i have got to try this!

[lanwickum]

fair amount of accuracy would be in feet at 1 mile. At 3500ft you will be going subsonic at a little over 1000 yards. If the bullet can stay stable, which some setup can, it can shoot a group that is feet in size. 1 MOA, I'ld like to be there for that. I'm talking 3-4moa at best.

[ChuckAllaway]

It is very possible to do, but the variants of your hits can be 40 ft off left to right with a few wind gust from left to right. with out wind, you can get a 18in 3 shot group pretty easily. my bud does it with a cheap stevens 223 barrel and action, then he replaced the stock to a glass bedded. not sure what his glass was. but yes, the 223 is very accurate out there, so long as there is absolutely no wind .

[headlicetonight]

you need to do this again with two cameras, one at actual distance and one near target, I only saw one dust trail and I looked hard.

[JohnTheRipper2]

what the hell is he shooting at? i cant see a damn thing!

[tyrefryer93]

crappy video - place a target cam next time - and don't hit it...

[ProjectIrene]

MY GOD what some irritating music.

Shooting A 223 Rifle To A Mile Accurately

Then read it and weep

[seanpomerinke]

How many MOA are you using? Because I am willing to bet that there is not a scope that has enough MOA in it to make that shot with a .223. On top of that you are so far past the Transonic Region that it is impossible for you to shoot accurately.

[5Rrock308]

mmm...40 MOA cant base... 90gr sierra...26in bbl....can be done

[seanpomerinke]

Ya I can lob 22 a mile to but you can NOT do it accurately. Once your bullet goes subsonic the pressure shifts to the front of the bullet and you get big loss in accuracy. Even if the bullet re-stabilizes after the transonic region the accuracy loss has already happened. If he could push the bullet at 3,000fps with a 100 yards zero he passes through the transonic region before he even gets to 1,000 yards. So before you start talking how far is your longest shot?

[5Rrock308]

the idea is not to push it that hard...more like a slow thump than a fast crack from normal .223...

the heavy bullet has way better BC...so it might carry....will never work with a 55gr tho...never...

start a 90gr sierra at 2600fps.....it might carry that far...not positive...but it is quite possible..

[seanpomerinke]

Nope it wont. I guessed the BC at .400

I did a bit of looking and the BC is .410. Not enough to change anything but I put it in just to make sure. I even changed the MV to 3,500 fps and it passes the transonic region right at 1,000 yards. So if I drop the MV to 2600 we go sub-sonic just past 700 yards. So I'm not saying he cant get the bullet there. I'm just saying that he cant do it with any accuracy. On top of that any wind will really push a 90 gr bullet of course.

[seanpomerinke]

I read a post about a guy the said he could shoot sub MOA which at a mile would be a group less then 17.6 inch's with a .223. He would dial all the elevation in his scope and hold over with his mill dots. Its my opinion that if you aim for air you will hit air. People have a hard to getting a MOA group at a mile with a 338 Lapua. So I don't care what crap he has on his rifle. You just cant make it happen. unless MAYBE you where in Alaska at 10,000 to 12,000 feet in elevation with no wind.

[GCMxVeGeTa]

I agree, the 55 gr. will never carry past 700 yds it goes subsonic at that distance.  The 75 gr. match shot through a 26" heavy barrel doesn't go subsonic until 1,100 yds or so...

[sav300]

I beg to differ. The 55grainer has lasted me out to 1200yds with accuracy. I have also shot it with a visible hit close to the mile mark. The 75gr bullet is better due to its higher B.C. and will be more accurate at long distances, but the 55 will reach out there with it.

[ChuckAllaway]

i shoot both the 75 and 55. the 55's shoot just fine out to 900 yards, so long as its a balanced bullet. but yah, the 75's just keep goin

[russr]

the Amax will stay stable transonic

Oh yeah, Nice shooting.

[dungman101]

o yeah?

i took a bb gun, and hit a target 4 miles away!

[supressorgrid]

O yeah? I kilt a bar six miles away with a paintball gun.

[Luciferlightbringer6]

looser, I killed two bears 10 miles away with a thrown pencil with one "shot".

[seanpomerinke]

HAHAHA

[cnknguyen]

wtf.

[catcrap89]

I can shoot a .22 a mile and see where it lands, how about a target????

[disturbedone5009]

thats a heavy sounding .223. oh and i like the scenery but could not see a target unless you were shooting the mountain side.

[tunedin2]

there's more than one shooter.didn't anyone notice the rows of trucks and gun cases ? if you listen it sounds like an AR .223

[dbridges22]

Next time take a different cameraman or at leas make sure that he isn't trying to adjust it while you're taking your shots.

[CoCCaNuTTs]

Well there are other shooters there, so thats probably why you hear the .300 Awesome shooting by the way, you should put balloons up for target shooting cheaper and you know when you hit them from far away. :)

[BobbyIronsight]

Can't see a damn thing!

[kwoodman1]

No way was that a .223

[blackdiesel2]

that doesnt sound like a .223 going off. it sounds more like a .300

[goldbeachman]
