Shooting my No 4(T) at 1,000 yards

[David TS]

Well, why not? The scope is calibrated that far .

I was on our club's long range (1,200 yards max) on Saturday, we were shooting 800/1,000/1,200 yards, so I thought for a giggle I would take the 4 (T) as well as my long range .308.

At 800 the 4 (T) was relatively straightforward to shoot (allowing for the fact the sight post point covered the whole of the vbull). Once I got the elevation figured out, it would put everything in the black (there was a fair breeze running across the range) with the best a lucky vbull. I could just about see the spotting disc at this range .

At 1,000, again once the elevation was figured out, it would put pretty much everything on target, but not with any meaningful grouping.

(I didn't try it at 1,200 ).

I am currently using Kynamco ammunition loaded with a 174gn SMK bullet, which probably replicates Mk 7 ball fairly accurately.

Above all, the 4 (T) is just fun to shoot, and it is nice to stretch it out distance wise now and again .
