338 Lapua Magnum at 2 miles (3561 yards)

Cool video. Travel time is crazy!

I hope it's not a repost.

Thanks for posting . Good video and the bullet was in the air for about 9 seconds !

But can he do a 720 no scope?


All joking aside that is seriously impressive shooting. I don't think I have ever witnessed that long a travel time.

 

[Bird Blaster]

He has some crazy videos!

Soon be stretching the legs of my 338. Just waiting for a powder measure. That is some cool shooting. The 7 to 9 second delay is incredible.

Very impressive

What did he do to the round he was loading at 10:37? He points something at it like an infrared thermometer or something.

 

[chalkriver]

I think he was checking the temp of the round like you said.

Awesome.

What I really enjoyed about the video was the very good calls the spotter was making. Bang on and that helped the shooter dial in the target quickly. For Extreme range shooting, a spotter is one of the most important ingredients to success.

Wonder what spotting scope she was using? She could obviously see the impacts which would be hard with most optics in that mirage.

Impressive. Note how relaxed his trigger hand is. Also, does not seem to be worried about barrel temp

At any range shooting the spotter is an essential ingredient to success.

As the saying goes...throw enough lead at anything and you'll hit it eventually!

 

[Magellann]

That was quite impressive, and he did seem to have the right equipment. The spotting scope looked like you could use it for star gazing.

If I lived in Alberta I would try this weekly. We don't even have that much range in Pet!

 

[silverfoxdj]

Very impressive..wonder if the spotter and he is a couple.. and what is said if he misses

Remember, you aren't shooting a .338 Lapua Magnum. You are shooting $5 bills.

Forget about AB... Think Beattle Kill.... Logging has cleared massive hunks of real estate through central BC and the OK valley. Forget about yards... think miles.

I took a drive last fall to see what was logged around me... couldn't recognise alot of the country I used to hunt in. Not sure if Google Earth will show the patches but it is stunning.

At these type of distances, I would just set up wireless cameras and use a TV screen to view the shooting. I think any type of optical spotter is going to be challenged to see precisely in mirage at those types of distances. I am sure with enough money, optics or better.. telescopes can be used.

2350 yds (GPS ranged) was far enough for me...
