.204 Ruger shooting a 450 yard gong.

Post by 247sniper »

Hi guys,

Here is a quick video I took yesterday, while out for a playing the glorious sunshine, and being a .204/.20cal dedicated forum, I thought I would share it with you guys! ;)

Before I start, this was taken on my land, the building is derelict and empty, so it was safe.

Here is the video of me shooting my .204 Ruger at a 4 inch gong at 450 yards using 39 grain SBK's. Sorry about the quality, there was haze in the air, it was a lovely day, warm with snow on the ground, that must have caused the haze.

There was a almost full value wind at 4-9 mph, so i dialed for a 6mph and sent them. These were the only 3 shots fired at the gong today so i was pleased to get on target first shot, witch shows improvement in my wind reading skills.

2.50 MOA dialed in for windage and 5.25MOA for elevation were dialed for the shot.

And who says size counts.....well that what I keep telling the wife anyway


Cheers guys, don't forget to like,share,comment,and subscribe!

Great shooting and video. You can see the shock wave of the last bullet as it goes through the heat distortions.

Great shooting! Very impressive. Good job of reading the mirage, too.

My wife just made her longest shot, so far. 250 yd hit on a crow. She's not satisfied, though. After seeing your vid, she wants to try 500 yds! ;)

:D Thanks for the comments guys, Tell your wife to keep at it and keep an eye out as there will be more videos coming, hopefully if we have better weather of some 500 yard plus rabbits. :D
