kawi kid Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 I'm not sure if its right but I put some of the information. I knew of the 50 Cal into my shooter app and cane up with 35.4 inches of drift at 40 MPH wind full effect meaning wind is directly a 90 degree angle. In the realm of distance shooting that's not a really hard shot. Just an example of why I say that is the last time me and walther went to the range we had a solid 25 MPH and gusting to 40. We were using 5.56 and at 650 yards we both hit first shot. We we're calculating 126.5 inches of drift. So in those conditions with an 800 gr bullet it's manageable.

So in those conditions with an 800 gr bullet it's manageable.Thanks for the data, that was the feeling I had about it, that in the grand scheme of things this wasn't too bad of a shot. We're talking about a round that has held records for 2500+ yard confirmed kills, and they were using it at 500. Not saying I could make the shot, but it just seems like they overhyped the wind difficulty. Anyone else think they should have brought George(last season) back as the expert for this episode?I'd like to get out to shooting longer ranges sometime, maybe next year. I have my savage .223 set up with shooting 69 grain sierras and the 75 grain A-max, now I just need the space and lots of practice. What sort of loads are you using out of your AR for those ranges?

kawi kid Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 Come out to thunder valley some time. There is steel out to the 1000 yard mark and beyond. They have a short course that is outgo 650 for the small caliber guys like us. In shooting 77 gr black hills match which is the 77gr sierra match king bullet. I planned on doing some load development and trying to make a similar load but I'm to busy to get it done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kawi kid Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 Yeah they have the red box. But it runs like 50-55 bucks a box of 50 rds. There is a blue box also but it uses once fired brass and its lime 35-38 usually. Woodbury doesn't have the blue box tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottb Posted October 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 I am liking Dustin this season. I still have to dial in my Mosin before I "upgrade" to a longer range rifle. The Mosin is alot of fun for a $99 rifle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kawi kid Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 There is a guy named Chris Horn that is known to take mossins and turn them into long range rigs. Check him out I think its horn's custom rifles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fizzer Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 Favorite episode ever! Not only because of Jake, but also the sako trg! Just last week my girlfriend was asking me what I would buy if I got a $2000 bass pro giftcard, and lo and behold I pulled up the trg-42. I think they're using the 22, but damn close enough!
