600 Yards with a 1911?

Thats unreal

 

Man, that is an impressive read!! I'm feel mighty lucky to get eight rounds in a black 8 inch target at 50 yards!

 

Wow that's insane.

 

Right off I start wondering how fast that bullet is moving at 600 yards! Amazing shooting, can't wait till next Feb.! $165.00 + S&H, for the upgrade not to bad! http://karllippard.com/military/1911A2-Upgrade.html

 

I wonder what angle the pistol is held at when going for 600 yards... like 30-45 degrees? lol

230gr'ers going 900 FPS are going to want to drop like a cannonball. Plus a bad ballistic coefficient. That's pretty remarkable to make such a shot.

 

And to do it 8 out of 10 times?????????

 

Over the years I have learned to shoot my 1911 out to 100 yards with consistency. But 600? I would try it but imagine a whole new learning curve.

 

I don't think I could see the target at 600 yards.

 

The only thing I can figure the shooter was a "natural" marksman or one who has boucou pistol firing experience like thousands of rounds every year since he/she was a wee bern.

 

I KNOW bloody well I could not

 

I regularly shoot my 1911s at 200 yds.. The dope required is crazy. I suppose its possible but Im kinda not buying it.

 

Very very cool. I think at 600 yards I could maybe hit a bus with 2 out of 10 shots and off the shelf ammo with my 1911 - maybe......

 

I don't know Josh, I am thinking it could be done. I took a pot shot at a running coyote at 300+/- yards with my SpringfieldXD 45. I tried to hold about 12" high and I hit just above his hind quarters at about 1" high. The Hornady ballistics calculator show's that at 600 yards you would need to hold 40.1" high.

I am going to try it next time out.
