Went out to a spot a couple buddies of mine have a range set up. Steel targets from 50 yards to a mile. My buddies have a couple custom built 300 Win Mags and had previous dope on the mile so we got those on target within a couple rounds.
First two mags out of the 6.5 Creedmoors (my AI shooting Hornady 140 ELD-M and his Bergara chasis rifle shooting Hornady 147 ELD-M) and we had no signs of impacts. Luckily we had one round impact outside of some bushes and saw hat we were hitting very low (roughly 3 mils) from what our calculators were saying. My load/rifle ended up needing 25 mils of adjustment and his needed 24.5. The 300s needed around 17.5 mils.
after figuring out my hold I connected on my 5th shot. The target had a Magneetospeed hit indicators which was a very valuable piece of kit. The 300s hit with enough energy to move the gong and we could easily spot those impacts through the Razor 80mm spotter (amazing glass). The 6.5s though were much harder to spot the hits. But the LED light was easy to see.
My buddy also made a 1350 yard shot with a FN SPR in 308. 4th round hit on a steel silhouette.

View through the Razor spotter at the gong at 1300 yards. The picture doesnt come close to showing the clarity the scope provides.
