900 Yard AR-15 Long Range Shooting

Our Facebook Page! http://www.facebook.com/pages/Heather-Lacroix/183081175038375 Our friend Chris Miller (Marine) got himself a new toy and was getting to know the ol girl. So we decided to take shots out to 900 yards on some balloons! This is a very remote place we were shooting so don't worry. There's no one around for miles. Chris is an Ex Marine and is getting use to the idea of using a scope on his rifle rather than just shooting things out to 500 yards with open sights lol. The wind was blowing a good 20 knots with very heavy gusts so to get as close as he was at 900 yards on a target about 10" inches was very impressive. Not to mention he was using cheap factory ammo. BTW wolf brand ammo review for .223.... IT SUCKS! Two different AR-15 had stove pipe problems with just a few rounds shot through them! We had already shot 100 rounds of Federal ammo though them with NO PROBLEM! They were both recently cleaned so IT WAS THE AMMO!

Thats the closest 900 yards i have ever seen in my life

wtf are you fools talking about? it's obviously 900 yards! look at the delay between the shot and the impact. it has to be over 775 yards because the 5.56 is a supersonic projectile. listen to the sound wave as the bullet inpacts. theres 2 waves before impact indicating 750+ yards. yall are ignorant as fuck. know your science before you talk shit

@513Scotchpagan obviously you haven't done much hunting, I'm not sure how far the 900 shot was but I will guarantee you that that was not even close to 400 yards.

How did you fight the temptation not to shoot those geese

[LaRoque17]

So that's what 'splashing' your target means. Get it? I said 'splashing' your target.....Sorry guys I couldn't resist. Nice shootin' bud.

Dannyred eat shit ur just mad cause u cant do that with an ar15

[dannyred83]

who in there right mind trys shooting an AR at any distance with wolf ammo? let alone shooting wolf ammo thru an AR period? you hillbillies need to quit posting these retarded videos.....

[wtfdudenotcool101]

@lilthmarie1 .338 Lapua is a better round than .59 bmg. nearly same distance and can carry much more ammo and gun weighs alot less.

you're wrong. we've been using .50 cal in alot of ways least of which is long range sniping.

[bcortez2011]

400 yards my ass. Maybe next time you need to get yourself a range finder, and the way you were shooting, you would have to had made up for the drop more than that, but it's good to know that if there is ever a PINK BALLOON APOCOLYPSE, that you'll be able to hold your own!!

[lilthmarie1]

@Grunt922 yes i know that in ww2 they made .50 cal and the like as a anti-armour round but what have we been using it for in the last 40ish years? and the comment i made saying you have no basis was referring to you saying i was mad

[zackatack06]

Man it was good shooting and all these other people can't stand it then I say where is their video they need to shut their trap unless they can show better
