Long Range Shooting - 6.5 Swede vs Milk Jug at 1 Mile (1,760 Yards)!!!
Long Range Shooting of a common 1 gallon
Milk Jug at 1 Mile which is 1760 yards.
Randy Ori shows us all the amazing power and velocity of the 6.5
Swede at 1760 yards (1 mile) and ends up having 4 - 5 shots with a vertical spread of maybe 6-7' at best.
Amazing.
Randy is getting an amazing 3120 fps out of
140 gr
Berger Hybrids which makes the other 6.5's like the 6.5 x 47.
260 rem and creedmoor that we often talk about look like child's play but
...you do have to run a long action for the Swede.

**Submitted Videos
Shooters that are unable to attend an official event in person have the option of submitting a properly filmed and formatted video to LRSU for review and potential approval.
(Updated Rules as of
February 2016)
1. Video must follow the same format as LRSU videos.
This includes:
-
Visual confirmation of the distance from the shooter to the target. ie zooming in and out, driving to the target on camera.
- Visual confirmation that all rules of the challenge were followed. ie no sighter shots, a clean target, etc.
- Shooter's interview discussing the make, model and components of his rifle, optics, ammo, how many shots it took, weather conditions and their experience shooting the challenge. (
Please do not share specific load data)
- A camera showing the shooter and one showing the target is highly preferred and will greatly increase your likelihood of being approved. (This doesn't have to be a target cam per se as we'd like to see the distance as the camera zooms in and out.)
2. Completed video should be send as a link or compressed file to info@longrangeshootersofutah.com or longrangeshootersofutah.com
3. Please include in writing the name, address and phone number of the shooter.
Location of the range via google map link or coordinance. Rifles, optics and ammo specs. How many shots it took to complete the challenge.
