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 have 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.

Awesome.
What scope is that? Looks odd with a blue elevation turret.

That is a great shot. What a poke with the 6.5x284.

This is much more impressive than someone shooting a steel gong at a 1000 yards. This guy got it done in one shot, not 7 or 10 or 14 ranging shots to get on target.
Congratulations to the shooter, WELL DONE!
