My goto gun is Remington model 700 sendero, laminated stock, 26 in sendero contour blued barrel, action bedded, barrel floated. Rifle Basix 8oz trigger. Optics are an 8.25x25 Leupold Vari-X III, standard Leupold dual dovetail rings and bases, no 20 MOA bases for me. Ive shot this setup out to 1300 yards and still had adjustment left. Caliber is .300 Rem Ultra Mag, bullet is a 178gr Hornady A-Max. RL25 is the powder I use but Im not giving load data because mine is over max.Your not going to rile me, if you say you did it I believe you. I just want to know about your gun, caliber, what bullet, scope, what degree scope base, I did a lot of shooting on a 600yd range for several years. Just curious to know your set up.
Edited to add: at those distances, really anything past 400, spin drift, elevation, temperature, humidity, etc... all come into play. Strelok Pro can really help some people with that, in addition to a wind meter that hooks to the app via bluetooth but youve got to be able to get it all hooked up right with REAL shot on paper data to put into it to make it work. Otherwise its useless.
First time I went to Montana 5 or 6 years ago I was sitting in a spot with spotty service and had ranged a bench 750 yards away across the valley. I knew what my elevation was and from experience I had already decided how much to "take off" my charts from home. (50 yards less btw). Eventually my electronic gadgets all connected and it spit out the exact data that I had already figured on my own. Well lo and behold, an hour later a shooter buck and his does started feeding across that very bench. I doped the scope for 700 yards, moved the windage 3 clicks left for drift, rested the rifle, and PINWHEELED that buck through both lungs.
