Heya SHLow,

Nice shooting!

I followed this link from the "Rifle Dynamics" face book message /"Guerrilla Sniper Rifle"/Nevada Shooter's fourm,does George build for Rifle Dynamics?

What kind of platform did you start out with,and if you don't mind me asking,what was your cost?

Optics,USOptics?

[SHLowlight]

@OakIslandBandit I don't know anything about Rifle Dynamics or whether or not GAP builds anything for them ? I didn't even know they linked this video, which is fine...

The scope is a NF F1 3-15X - the rifle was a simple Remington PSS when it started.

The Gladius is available from GAP I believe they cost a bit over $3k

@pveg65 Most of that "5 seconds" was the sound of the hit traveling from the target to the shooter. Not the bullet traveling to the target...Just sayin'

@OakIslandBandit

What a nice and helpful answer this is for somebody (@pveg65) who probably doesn't actually know much about match grade ammunition, ballistics and barrel wear. Too bad SHLowlight had to go off like some kind of socially maladjusted prima donna douchebag in his response.

While SHLowlight is a much better marksman than I may ever be, he's not enough better than lots of other great marksmen to be such a self-absorbed and churlish cunt.

It takes 4.4 seconds from shot sound till hit sound. 1000 yards = 914.4 meters, speed of sound is 340.29 m/s so it already takes 914.4/340.29=2.69 seconds for the sound of the bullet hitting the target to return. leaving 4.4-2.69=1.7 seconds for the bullet to travel those 914.4 meters. So the bullet is traveling at 914.4/1.7= 533.8 m/s *3.6= 1921.8 km/h /1.609= 1194 miles per hour. The bullet should approximately be traveling at that speed I'd say :-)

Nice!

[DallasfuckingTT]

@Noobpatty Should take almost 2 seconds to hit the target.

[SuperGozzy]

yeah it sounded like he was shooting subsonic loads if that was a thousand yards figure sound travels at right around 1,100 feet per second id say his loads where around 1,050 to 1,070 fps just a guess

@pveg65 tracers are shit...they are for mall ninjas, and jerk offs at gun shows...they have no use in real [recision shooting at all

[CapAdGroup]

@Noobpatty Yeah 3 seconds is the time for the sound to get back to the camera, so you're looking at around a 1 second flight time for the projectile giving you between 2.500 - 3000ft/s average velocity, which is about right for a rifle calibre.

@SHLowlight shooting corbon?

[Noobpatty]

If it actually took 4.5 seconds to hit a 1000 yard target...that would be 666.666666 feet per second :O
