Default 1,000 yard Benchrest World Record

This happened back in July but I just saw it.

Mike Wilson's 1000-yard target at the Hawks Ridge Gun Club in Ferguson, N.C. is a new world record-setting 5-shot group measuring 1.068 inches or in angular terms, a stunning 0.102 minutes of angle (MOA).

He even managed to land all five rounds in the center X-ring for a perfect score. (The previous 5-shot, light gun IBS record, set in 2007, measured 1.397 inches.)

The little 6BR with 30 grains of powder and a very good bullet is hard to beat.

The 50 guys are shooting under two inches these days.

that is amazing.

I liked the article and how it ended...

"...For anyone hoping to get into the long-range shooting game, Mike’s advice is simple.

“Bring whatever you can get and come to a match,” he said. “There will be some of the greatest people you’ll ever meet. Everyone will be glad to help if you need help. Don’t come expecting to be the best right off the bat, but come enjoy it, see what it’s all about, let the people help you.”"
