My brother and I took his newish Savage 12 LRP in .260 out to central Oregon over the weekend for a little testing. He is running Berger 140gr. Match Hybrid Target bullets with a BC of .618
We loaded them with H4350 in Nosler brass and sparked by CCI 200 primer. We got on the 10 1/2" steel plate at 1000 yards after only 3 shots to adjust the scope that was zeroed at 100 yards. He then got a three shot group at 1000 that was right around 7". I had to pat myself on the back just a little being that I loaded the ammo
I was very proud of him. We are both very new to long range shooting and it is proving to be very challenging yet extremely fun! We had bigger targets out at 1500 and 1760 yards. One mile. He got one hit at 1500. He got very close lots of times at both the 1500 and one mile. Our spotting scope is not up to the task of seeing trace and impact at those distances. It was a fun weekend.
We also did some 1911 and revolver work at soda cans full of water at 100 yards.
To say I like my new Refhawk 44 is an understatement. He still out shot me with his RIA .45ACP though. Once again, my reloads and cast bullets.
