The Dartman and the neighbor take down a big o' male coyote at over a mile.
We believe the 300 made the hit. This is our shot data.
The 300 win mag - 2768 fps with 208 amax = 3.490 second time of flight.
The 338 papua- 2778 fps with 300 berger = 3.019 second time of flight.
The 338 should have hit about 0.4 seconds before the 300 and making us conclude the 300 made the kill.
more info- 300 win bullet drop @1860 yards=84.5moa or 1645 inches=137 feet of bullet drop. Energy at target-484 fp.
338 lapua @1860yards=65 moa or 1266 inches=105 feet of bullet drop. Energy at target-1012 fp.
I used to have an 1880s 45-70 Springfield manual that had fold-outs in the back. They were "killing range" diagrams of standing men and men on horseback. One specific "killing range" with the 500 grain infantry load was the distance between being hit in the head and hit in the ankle at 1,000 yards. That lethal distance was something like 20 yards, so if you were off by just 20 yards in range estimation either way, you'd miss.
Makes this guy's shot all the more remarkable, even though he admitted it was a "scratch shot".
LOL!

I hope everyone on this forum decides they want to become an expert shooter and learn how to hit a 5 gallon bucket at 1000 yards with their first shot. It a challenge that's worth your time. That I'll guarantee you.

Particularly with the price and availability of ‘practice’ ammo......
I’ll bet that if were sincere and follow Rex’s advice that you wouldn’t spend $300 for ammunition. If that’s too much then maybe you shouldn’t attempt learning to shoot long range.
Boom!
That, was awesome.

Too late, did it the ‘Old Corps’ way.........and have access to 1,000+ yard places to shoot, so I do.
I'm assuming you are casting aspersions on the legendary shooting ability of a former member at large from the great State of Wyoming.
Absolutely! I’d be even MORE MORE impressed if it were a POTUS such as the legendary Teddy Roosevelt.
How much did you spend learning to shoot?

After attaining a degree of proficiency at my “father’s knee” (and reloading presses) I was actually paid to advance my skills at the University of Science Music and Culture for a number of years.
After ‘graduation’ and cultivating my brother’s training in the arts of gun smithing and manufacture, I’m now a lowly field tester for his enterprise.
Field testing from the 1000 meter range in Yuma to any of the safe vistas on public lands in Arizona and New Mexico we continue to caress the bang switch with the exotic and innovative products that come my way.
Guess the short answer to your query would be that I’m still paying, forward as I can. Dollars and cents? What does it matter at this point?
You cannot start an argument like that.....

Sorry, you have me at a disadvantage being ignorant of both venues.
Ah so you are a golfer.
Evidently it is a skill that term worthy to know. Is $300 too much to learn it?
Ah so you are a golfer.

Hardly, though I have a friend whom plays. I’m happy just hunting, fishing, trapping, bench rest , reloading, fly tying,....
