I was out last Sunday with The PGW LRT-3 shooting at 1000 yards at Borden's Mons range this was with the ORA had a great time:) I do not usually shoot in the prone posistion as I have some medical issues that make it extremely difficult but still had some promising results. I was using Johnny Boy's recipe and was able to hit the X ring at 1000 yards not sure how big that ring is if anybody cares to comment? I did hit it two in a row with the third just outside the X ring but did not have a spotter to score. Initially I was shooting low:redface: twice!! the guys in the bunker were not happy about that the RSO let me know right away! Big thanks to everyone who helped me out dialing the .50 in:D Johnny Boy has a good recipe for sure
the Amax's shoot very well with VV 20n-29n the bullets seated to magazine depth 5.430" - 5.457" I went with 5.430". One guy on his first shot with the rifle was very impressed with the accuracy he may see this post and chime in! Especially since I have some nice once fired IVI for him:D
 
Hi DG, well done.

There are a couple of different Long Range targets that you might have fired on.

For TR shooting ("Target Rifle", which is prone iron sights w/sling) there are two targets you are likely to have used:
1 - the DCRA Long Range target, which has a 24" 5-ring and a 12" V-bull
2 - the ICFRA Long Range target, which has a 20" 5-ring and a 10" V-bull (this target is almost identical to the US-NRA Long Range Target, except that the US target is scored 10-X rather than 5-V)

There are also F-Class versions of these targets, in which the TR V-bull is used as the F-Class 5-ring, and an additional half-sized V-bull is added to the target:
1 - in this case the DCRA F-Class Long Range target has a 12" 5-ring and a 6" V-bull
2 - the ICFRA F-Class Long Range target has a 10" 5-ring and a 5" V-bull

Hitting Vs or Xs at 1000 yards is always a good thing!
 
I was right beside him all day shooting at an ICFRA Fclass target with my .223, and enjoying the concussion from his muzzle brake!

Too much gear to haul around I hand my hands full with the rifle gear:eek: If I had camera gear it would eat into shooting time and that just cannot happen I need all the practice I can get! My diabetes makes my hands go numb so it is real hard to feel the trigger properly:mad::mad:

I will shot with you on Sunday morning if you want, let's take the timberwolfs out, I can bring some 2" mild steel and titanium to punch some hole in with the 50.

I recessed my .338 rounds down to 3.610" so I want to see the MV difference.

let me know!
