I tried my hand at 1400 yards for the first time today and was pretty surprised/impressed! The Grendel seems to take it to anything I throw it at. I shot a few at 1000 yards, but was mainly wanting to stretch it out as far as I could today. We had set a gong out to 1400 and I was bound and determined to hit it.
I punched the info into iStrelok, and was pretty impressed with the readings it gave. It only put me 5 MOA below target on my first round. It took me several more to get on target, but I was just thrilled to even be able to hit the dang thing!
I wound up at 74 MOA of total drop. I had to max out my elevation and still hold over 27 MOA, but damnit it worked! The wind was surprisingly nice, between 4-7mph and usually blowing straight at us.
Sorry for the bad video. I'll most likely be getting a gopro in the next couple months to get some better target cam shots.
I also wound up having to cut the video short out of convenience to upload. There was one shot in this string before the video starts.
Enjoy!
The two hits on the right are with my Grendel shooting 123gr Amax. The two smaller splashes on the left are with my cousin's 18" AR Stoner Grendel shooting 123 Nosler CC. The bigger splash on the left is from a .260 shooting 123gr Sierra's.
