550 Yard, 30-30 Winchester 94, Hornady 160gr FTX

I was getting my zeros with the Winchester 94 at 400 and 500 yards this morning to record the settings on my Bushnell Elite 3200, when I made a pretty good shot.

I've never tried 550 yards with the Winchester before so hitting that small target on the fist shot is a pretty big deal to me.

I figured the wind on the first 400 yard shot so it really isn't all that big a deal that it was a bit windy.

beast shot dude thats crazy!!!! how many times did u shoot before that one?



[lj2justgoto]

@outdoorsisbest That is the only time I've ever taken a shot at 550 yards... with any firearm!

The first frame is the shot before it at 400 yards. It is the 6th shot I took after the 3 shot group at 300 yards, (upper left corner of white backboard.)

That is right after I worked up a load. The 3 shots 3 inches to the left of the screw holding-up the target are my 3 shot group to test the load. It is a 3 shot 300 yard 1.5" group; .5moa.

The other 6 are my zeroing shots at 300, then 400.

@lj2justgoto Actually, that is a 1 15/16 inch group.

you sound like a pedo...

[lj2justgoto]

@kryptikkk777 Wow, you guys and your lame pick-up lines. But, you should try it on a dating site, whereas there are people looking for dates.

you know what the bullet drop is at that range?

[lj2justgoto]

@DiotisHimself441 The bullet drop was about 12.5 feet.

@lj2justgoto

I don't think that was a pick up line... more along the lines of an insult? Good shot btw.

Is Hornady sponsoring you? If they don't maybe they should.
