And to do it 8 out of 10 times?????????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.
I KNOW bloody well I could notI don't think I could see the target at 600 yards.
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 regularly shoot my 1911s at 200 yds.. The dope required is crazy. I suppose its possible but Im kinda not buying it.
i tend to agreeI don't think I could see the target at 600 yards.
Thats about what I am thinking. The target would have to be the size of a bus for me to see it at that distance.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......
