Good stuff!

Range report on the Whisper as soon as possible - can't wait!!

hoping the rifle will be here within the next two weeks. The paperwork is in for my 50 can but that will be a couple more months. I love my 300 so the wait to try the 510 is killing me :) Will no doubt post rifle pics with a range reports at first chance.
Was able to go long with my 300 last month- hitting 8x11" steel at 830 yrds- looking forward trying the same with the 510

here is a pic of my property- I can go out to 1200+


this is me setting up the 830yrd target


this is the same pic as above just zoomed in a bit

Hi,
I would love to come and play in your sandpit with your toys
How many moa to reach out 830yrds from a 100yrds zero? with 300 whisper or 510 whisper?

you should make a video for youtube, just for the pleasure of earing the silence between the pffft of the rifle and the gong on the steel plate

It should be fun to watch that heavy bullet in a spoting scope reaching out there!

well its about 130- but thats only a est guess because I can not dial to it. I have a horus scope which makes it easy to do consistant hold over. For 830 I can not even see the steel plate in the scope when I shoot- I pick a marker at @1200yrds then use the reticle to walk the rounds in. Once on target the shot can be repeated.

I plan on doing that- maybe next time I will remember my video camera :)

what is the Whisper load for the long range shooting?

I had a chance to buy a property like this just recently - wife grumbled - it sold.
