For the Rifle Shooters

[MikeC]

Records continue to fall. Robert Hoppe of Reno, NV just smashed the NBRSA 600-yard record with a 0.579″ five-shot group at 600 yards.

Robert was shooting a 6mm Dasher with Varget powder and 105gr Hornady Amax bullets. His gun has a 28″ Hart Barrel, Panda Action with Jewell trigger, Dierkes carbon fiber stock, and Nightforce 8-32X scope.

Amazing. :shock:

For the deer/big game hunters who say this means nothing to them.......

These are the people who are instrumental in innovation and technology that have made your hunting guns so much more accurate than they once were.

That's great shooting, it seems records continue to fall.
We need to thank our gunsmiths more , by building guns that break records has forced the gun manufactures to put out better varmint and deer rifles.

I couldn't see anything out a 600 yards! Yikes!

Hopefully people won't be shooting at game from that distance. Wind, humidity, and atmospheric pressure changes make a difference on a shot that long. "Grouping" is one thing, actually implementing it is another.

I wouldn't recommend it to those that haven't done their homework, but when you have, there's no better fun.

Don't forget the "Coriolis Effect". :lol: :lol:
