I was able to take three men out yesterday for some long-range shooting with specialty pistols. One was 17 years old and the other two were in their 30's.
All three specialty handguns we were using were XP's in 6.5 (two 6.5-284's one reargrip & one centergrip, and a center-grip 6.5WSM).

Two of the guys had never shot a specialty pistol ever before that day.

Watching them all hit steel consistently was a joy.
In fact, there were no misses by anyone at 482 yards.

It nice to help what some may consider almost impossible, to become not only possible, but easier than they would have imagined.

I have to say my hats off. One day I would LOVE to come up for lessons!

Hop in your car or get a flight!

They drove for either 13 or 14 hours straight to get here.

how did they do at 1,121?
i have never tried that with a pistol.

I've never tried that with a rifle.LOL very cool xp, sounds like you may have brought some more over to the dark side.

That's damn good shootin! Been handgun hunting for years and my 'personal' limit is 200yds or less with any of my Contenders or Encores.

Go get 'em Ern--won't be long u'll have converted every red-blooded American in the country. Maybe u oughtta' call Obama and see if he wants to try it...?

SScoyote? Which end would Obama be at? LOL!!!! sorry had to get my lil jab at him!

XP, that is some fine shootn! I look out the window and picture these distances across the fields, and I must say...pretty work ole boy! Those guns are shooters!

if he's holding the targets I'm there!

The man who has the 6.5WSM XP put three shots in less than 5-inches.
This is my rear-grip BR XP-100, 6.5-284, using the SEB Rest.

that is outstanding you must be a super teacher.

Wow! and I thought I was doing good at 450yds with my 30-06 Encore........ Nice pistols and good shooting!

Nice job Ernie!!

I just corrected my earlier post:
I meant to say he put three shots in less than a five inch group @ 1,121 with my rear-grip 6.5-284 XP.
As you can assume, the conditions were great.

thanks for the clarification xp, I thought I had overdone my pain meds there for a bit.

Not your drugs. My fingers were not cooperating with my brain.
And I do not even have meds as an excuse

I`am happy with a 3" group at 100yds.After reading this I think I should raise my sights a little higher.......damm good shootin

James...only your back sight needs raised higher!

This may be a road you do not want to venture down...it's a slippery slope that can have you sliding down hill FAST!!

Since listening to Ernie and Steve, I now have guns that won't get pointed on paper at ranges under 250yds unless they are zeroed at closer ranges. Even with those, I'll pop two off to check zero then stretch'em out. Then you'll get into stuff like my Lil'Moster...if she shoots a group over 1.25" at 400yds, I'm having an off-day or I start re-figuring dope charts or......

But, don't you just love it?

this long range shooting thing sounds like a blast but unfortunately where I live now if you want to shoot over 150 yds your either going to upset a dairy farmer or you have to shoot across canyons and setting up targets just wouldn't be fun.

Some places it is all but impossible to shoot at LR.
Sorry you are in that type of an area.
