Elk XP is Getting Ready

Elk Season Opens October 1st, and this is my set-up for this year.
After putting on a different set of rings, I did my first drop confirmation with the 7mm Dakota XP-100 out to 1000 yards.
400 yards

500 yards

750 yards

1000 yards

Reloader 33, CCI Large Rifle BR primer, 175 grain ELD-X at 2925 fps.
I did not chronograph the day I did the drops, but I will recheck that since my numbers were different than I expected at 750 yards on out.
Chris Rhodes built it and it is a shooter!
Shooting was done off a Harris BR bipod, and a small Holland field bag.
When you watch when I?m putting shots on at 1000 yards I made mention I need to come down 3/4 of a minute, and I think I just simply did not do it, and then after the second shot (neck area) I did.

I hooked up my phone to my Burris spotting scope, that is their SCR MOA reticle in it.
Since I did not have a spotter with me, I could just replay the video and know where my impacts were when I got out to 1000 yards.
Big game hunting...Here We Come!

Excellent shoot'n, Ernie!

I don't want you shooting at me!!!!

Impressive shooting as always! Good luck!

I can see that you are going to be successful on this hunt. I always liked the Dakota cartridges. Good looking rig you have. Good shooting and best of luck on the hunt.

Charles

Wow, fine shooting and very accurate XP that Chris did up. Look forward to elk pictures.
