Just a short video i took of some 1000 yard impacts from a .243 shooting the 115gr dtacs. There are two consecutive groups shot in the video.

Liar. That was a 300WM wasn't it?

Ya so........ but what do you know..... you're an asshole.

Nice video. Great shooting.

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.

Can I ask where you did this shooting.

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 is f-ing awesome! Love the hits on steel close up. Great vid.

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.

That's some good shooting Brandon! Have you busted the cherry on your homemade 338lapua?

Yeah man, its shooting good! Im super busy lately but I cant wait to get it out to the desert. Ill hit you up before I go to see if you can go.

....

pretty cool.

I really want to try 1k. I have shot out to 700 but that was just at rocks with my M1 and Kar98k.

Cool. Can't wait to get my .243 done.

What size is the plate?
