6.5 Grendel 2,000y 130g nosler rdf
If this wind dies down I'm going to go for it tonight Calcs showing 2818 inches of drop at 2k 2k y is beyond my scopes ranging capabilities for this caliber so I'll have to set the max range and play with the bc numbers and velocity numbers till my scope displays the correct bullet drop Wind is currently 13 mph but supposed to drop to 4/5 mph between 8-9pm gives me just enough light to try this |

Subscribing. How do you plan to spot your shots? I've got a really accurate 260 Rem I'd love to try out at that distance. I'm joining a 1k yd range later this month.. I guess itll have to do!

if my buddy cant come out witht he spotting scope ill do it the same way way i did at 1 mile just threw my rifle scope on my own , with the sand around my target its not to hard to pick out impacts, and even at such long range my gong is light enough i should see it swinging with a hit , hits at 1 mile were more then easy to see
