today i was scouting around barstow for a spot that will get me that far and i found one.
not the best grouping but it was a thrill to watch the trail of the bullet. i was able to keep a good sight picture and see the bullets splatter when they hit.

first time shooting 600yds
well like the subject says today was my first time shooting 600 yards. untill today the furthest i had reached out was 300. my ar15 has been pretty acurate at 300 so i have been itching to go further.

i was shooting factory 62gr. 5.56. its ATI Tactical the steel core stuff.bcrich wrote:congratz on your hits, what ammo you sending downrange? factory or reload? gotta luv watching those impacts at 600, I had my fix on friday at ASR with an AR 308
i have been turning out 45 and 308 for about a year but just recently decided to start on .223 so no reloads yet.
i have a 5gallon bucket almost full that i have been sorting and prepping. havent worked up a load yet.
its amazing how much the bullet drops after 300 yds. and it was barely denting the steel at that distance. i have almost shot through a normal 1"steel plate with a few magazines of that ATI at 200yds. i need to finish my precision bolt gun.

Glad you got out past 300... Did you have much wind?
