At a private event in texas. 

1 shot 1 hit on 1,800 yards, 2 shots 1 hit 2,000 yards.... a lot more to hit 2,300.

No.  Can't disclose caliber.  But not 6.5 creedmore. =)

[remixer 1,645]

338 Lapua

[10X 3,296]

The yet-to-be-announced .338 Creedmore?   

[Maksim 1,504]

Currently avail caliber. Not 338 lapua.

[raz-0 1,259]

looks like it's either belted, or the pressure is stressing the case web.

Belted.. .300 winchester magnum. Unbelted .300 prc. 

Given the presentation, I'm going to guess .300 PRC. 

 

[Shane45 807]

Looks like 300 Norma, which is what my rifle is chambered in :D. I dont think 6.5 is getting to 2300!

[GunsnFreedom 245]

7mm?

[JT Custom Guns 957]

Well  Current avail. options on the Ruger Precision are:

6mm

6.5mm

300 WM

.308

.338LM

 

[Shane45 807]

Yeah but thats not a belted magnum in the pic, and 338 LM is off the table and the other calibers aint hitting at 2300. Given the non disclosure, it must not be a current offering of the rpr.

Sure sounds like 7MM to me.  

 

Hornady offers .224, 6, 6.5, 7, .308 and .338 in ELD Match ammo (which is in the pic).  The RPR is chambered in its current config in all except .224 and 7.  I have a hard time seeing .224 reaching out 2300 - 1000, sure.  7MM can hit 2 miles.

Sounds like they signed a NDA, so it's possible that the rifle is chambered in something different then current offerings.

[JT Custom Guns 957]

The way Maks said "Currently avail. cal" - I take it that is a cal currently avail for the RPR.

I thought he meant it's a commercially available round (not a special round for that specific gun).  Maybe he's mistaken!

[silverado427 10,716]

What magnification do you need to shoot with accuracy that far.

[10X 3,296]

The Leupold line tops out at 25x, I believe, though the scope in the photo looks a bit like their Mark 5 3.5-18x

[raz-0 1,259]

It's boxed hornady ELD ammo. It's a long case. and bigger than 6.5 creedmore. 

 

That leaves 300 prc, 300 win mag, or 300 normal. 

I think that is a shiny mark due to pressure and not a belt, and I think the necks tapers too fast for norma, so I'm going with .300 PRC. 

Also .300 PRC is a recent introduction to the ELD match lineup of loaded ammo, so it wouldn't surprise me if they teamed up with other manufacturers to drop a turn key, off the shelf 2000 yard setup.

Depending on the size of target but 20 inch targets with a 25x was sufficient. 

Everything out to 750 was absolutely not a problem for 6 to 12 inch plates.

Currently available caliber commercially that you can buy ammo for.

Scope was Leupold Mark 5HD 5x25.

at 2300 yards we were accounting for 30 mils drop from a 200 zero, on top of the 20 or so MOA rail iirc.

wind at that point was from all directions and changed every second, especially between canyons.  The shot that hit was 30 mils of dope on top of the rail and 10 mil wind adjustment. 

Round was perfectly shootable to 2,000. After that it goes back subsonic at around 2090 I believe... and why 2300 was so difficult.  I think it took about 20 rounds and a ton of time as barrel was getting hot...  problem is when you were close, needed to keep shooting S as a wind change at that distance varied by up to 5 to 8 mils.... so in full fairness.... there was a lot of educated guessing and luck. 

1,000 was almost a joke.... 1,200 to 1,600 was very doable, every shooter in my group... of 5 (4 media, 2 company reps) hit 1,800 and 2,000 without too much difficulty. 

An other media person in another group who is also a PRS shooter, believes she hit 2,500 but at that point the steel barely moves and there were no flashers on the target.... the spotter could not really see it. 

The targets between 1,600 and 2,000 had flashers that went off on a hit and you can still see marks. 

Major credit to instructors and th complete gun system. 

Stock gun fresh off production floor, a new from box scope, and factory match ammo.  Guns were not tuned, gone over by a gunsmith, etc.

300 Norma is capable.

[JT Custom Guns 957]

^ Agreed, But I was only considering cals. avail. for the RPR. (Which does not offer .300N)

 

[124gr9mm 859]

300 PRC is the new hotness, so maybe they're using that to get in with the cool kids.

300 PRC sounds way to communist for me.

Ill even accept 300Maga

Fugg that would be a great name....

Hmmm. I thought I knew what it was.

Let's try .45-110 with a 540 grain paper patched bullet?
