.243 at 1,021 yards - REX Reviews

.243 Win shooting at long range (over 1,000 yards). Watch how it is totally possible for an inexpensive rifle and scope to handle these long range shots. Rifle was a Ruger M77 VT and the scope was an SWFA Super Sniper 10x42. The effects of ammo temp on trajectory is discussed. This relaxed rifle shoot was done while taking a break from the heat while filming our AK-47 Warm Up.

Awesome, i just got a 243 weatherby vangaurd. and for its cost its fucking acurate

[TiborasaurusRex]

@bbgun07 Very nice. I'd throw a $299 SWFA Super Sniper 10x42 on that thing, get some good charts made up for it and do some long range.

17 Minutes is all you needed to get out to a grand? I'd like to hear about that rig a little more. I'm in the process of setting up a long range 243.

@tannecr Normally more than that, but this was a down hill shot, hot ammo temp, and with a low air density becasue of altitude and B.P. 243 is great for long range. With the 105 grain A-Max and the righjt powder it has nearly identicle external ballistics as the 300 win mag with 190 grain BTHP (way less power of course). Let me know when you get set up. I can share loads with ya.

@TiborasaurusRex Just loaded up a little ladder with Hybrid 100v and the 105 AM. Planning on grabbing some H4350 because of the wonky temps in Colorado. What are you feeding that thing?

[TiborasaurusRex]

@tannecr 105 gr A-Max w/ 43.1 grains RL-19. I elect not to neck size, my bore is usually filthy, I use normal CCI primers, and I even use crappy old mixed brass I find on the ground at the range and I still get < 1/2 MOA consistently! Great load for the last 3,500 rounds.

Excellent!!!

[coty734]

good shooting but what the fuck are you people talking about?

[tannecr]

@TiborasaurusRex I've always had good luck FL sizing as well. The old barrel I just pulled off the 243 hadn't seen a patch in probably 3-400 rounds and still shot decently well- little over a half inch with cheap 87 gr Hornady BTHPs. I'm really interested to see how the H4350 does, seeing mixed results with it. Holler if you ever come to Colorado!

@TiborasaurusRex And bay the way I love my .243. I have a Remington Model 700. It was my granddads and me and my dad found it in his house wrapped in a blanket and laying in the chairs at the dining room table. Not to mention that the scope could hit a quarter every time with 3 shots and 300 yards. But we have a new scope now because that one broke. Now hunting seasons over im going to sport shoot maybe try some long shots :)

[TiborasaurusRex]

@crazyredneck42069 Right on, man. Shooting is a great sport. Its clean, it sharpens all the senses, it requires intense concentration, and it is a skill that can be very useful for the rest of your life. Keep it up, bud. Peace.
