Being that the 243 retains more energy at those distances than a 308, I wouldn't want to be anywhere near there. Given popular belief, I would've expected to see the bullets just bounce off and not make a mark.

This was on our family property in Alder Montana. The video was from about 4 months ago.

Interestingly that steel is just regular 1/4 inch steel plate I got at a scrap yard. It puts a nice deep dent in it but wont pass through at 1000 yards. Still some serious energy though for a bullet that has traveled that far.

That's sweet! I love that you hear the clang then later the report of the rifle.
How fast are you driving the 115's?

That's some really nice shooting. Love how you hear the sound of the rifle a second after the impact.

Im shootimg them at around 2950 FPS. What was crazy though was it was super hot and dry that day. My kestrel was reading 10,000 - 13,000 ft density altitude throughout the day.

What size is the plate?
God shoots a Remington 700, drives a Chevy Truck and carries a Glock 19.
I don't do any of those things.
