Shooting an AR-15 at 860yds is pretty fun, and not a little challenging. This video includes a target camera and split screen, showing trace ("vapor trail") along with the time lag between shot and hit.

  • Great shooting. If you can estimate, what was your hold-over on these shots? Was your ammunition hand-loaded or factory?

  • @theflyoverzone

    Handloads, not high pressure, I forget the correction used that day, but I was dialing the scope for it rather than holding in the reticle. I generally dial the elevation and hold the wind.

  • Niice!!! Even your misses would've been a hit on a larger target/animal

  • @Crakmonkey2647

    Yes, a full-size torso target would have seen a lot more hits.

  • Is it easier to shoot that distance because it's downhill vs. a flat terrain?  Good shooting either way!

  • @gomergilligan

    Actually, it's not more than a degree or two of slope, not downhill at all. In a true high angle scenario, your elevation correction is less regardless of whether you are shooting up or down.

  • what twist rate is that rifle? and barrel length

  • Great video!

  • @scottys1 i would have like to see you show us the 223 amo then load then shoot..but still great video

  • Take that ak47!

  • Awesome video! Love that vapor trail. 2 high quality HD cameras would be insane.

  • now that's cool :)

  • Very nice shooting, and nicely put together video. I came across your video after searching for long range .223. Earlier today I was hitting at a torso-sized target at 720metres (about 765 yards). I was getting about 7 hits every for 10 shots. No video though ha ha !

    (Remington 700 VS 1:12 with 55gn homeloads.)

  • Nice stuff! Shooting the small stuff at range really makes you appreciate the heavier pills!

  • That is incredible shooting with 223.

  • why hollow points? would thank not work against you?
