Good Stability yet at 3040

We recovered one of the 361 grain Flat Line bullets at the 3040 yard steel plate area. It still shows good stability as well as the impacts on the steel were good splash marks on the paint.

I thought I would share this as the bullet still shows a good amount of force and stability

Muzzle speed from the 361 grain bullet 3020 fps
The DA was at 6520
Speed of sound 1092.22
Wind at 9:00 at 14 mph
Speed at point of impact 1036.94 fps

Amazing ballistics

Thanks Randy, we did the testing to verify drops and dope in Colorado on our way to the KO2M event in Raton, New Mexico at the NRA Whittington center. The G1 BC on the 361 grain Warner Flat Line 375 cal ran at .965

It was the luck of the draw on who shot when with the winds in the canyons and mountain sides under a 9 minute time restraint on all 5 targets combinend with 15 shots max. It was fun that out of 49 shooters from all over the world only 4 people hit the 16″ Coldbore target at 1699 and only one shooter tore up the paint on all the qualifier targets including the Coldbore 1699 – one shot, 1543 allowed five shots, 1722 allowed 3 shots, 1889 allowed 3 shots and 1953 yards and allowed 3 shots. You had to hit the target to move on. We averaged a 11″ vertical on the 1953 target with the 3 shots allowed in qualifying. Just sayin it was a Wisconsin flat lander that wrecked the paint on all and we had some good wind when I shot on the second day.

Fun stuff when we were shooting at the ranch in Colorado at the 3040 yard mark mentioned in OP above and with full value winds and repeat hits on a 36″ plate we were dialing and holding for 45′ of wind drift.

Picture below is right after rattling the course at NM the owner of McRee chassis asked for a pic it was a fun event.
