I got a text today from one of my customers that he was able to take a pronghorn today from long range! He shot it at a lasered 1030 yards!!! Amazing! This is the longest confirmed kill I have heard of with my ammo. There has been several in the 600 and 700 yard range, but never this far. Posted with permission. Rifle- Custom 6.5-284 Norma Ammo- 140 grain Berger VLD @ ~2950 fps.

Walter x2 I don't think I'd be able to see that far much less hit something....

Great shot! How the heck did he get a range finder to read off of an antelope at over a thousand yards?
Silver spurs and gold tequila keep me hanging on. Pretty girls and old cantinas give me shelter from the storm.
