Bisley 1100 yards

The NSRA shop at Lord Roberts Bisley list it. Worth a call

Just found that out, sent them an email to see if they keep it, but I suspect it's probably special order only.

In 7.62 / .308" NRA sells:

GGG 147gr milspec
RWS 155gr Sierra MatchKing
GGG 168gr match
GGG 175 gr match
S&B 180gr

We do not sell 190gr ammunition, but we do sell 190gr Sierra matchKing bullets.

From personal experience, I would support Steve E's contention that RWS 155gr will work fine to 1100 in the sort of rifles he and I shoot (NRA rule 150 Target Rifles with 30" x 1/13" barrels to the 1999 Proof House Memorandum dimensions). I would not guarantee that performance out of a 26" tube as found on an issue AI or Rem 700, but wouldn't be surprised if you tried it and found it worked fine in one of those.

Oh and PRVI 150gr softpoint

And just to be helpful, if you are shooting RWS 155 from a 30" barrel and have a 1000 yd elevation, the rise is 7 minutes to 1100yds and a further 8 minutes to 1200yds. The RWS 155 will outperform the GGG 168 and probably the 175 as well, the 147g is not even in contention.

It would be my Swing mk. 4 which seems to be very happy indeed with RWS 155, I wasn't sure if that was suitable for 1200 though.

Feed it rws155, it'll be fine. You just need to hone your wind reading skills. 1200 yds is a completely different game to 1000yds.

Tony,
I just wondered how it went?

Tony,
I just wondered how it went?

It was very interesting!
The crosswind was a sod! It got stronger as the morning went on. The flag poles were bending over.
My first couple of shots were off the target and I do know my zero for 900 and 1000.
Thanks to marker I found I was shooting high and off to the right.
Got on target and had a few V`s then next shot would be in the white to the right.
I was using my 260 AE3. Using 139gn scenars at 2800fps I had 9.8mrad ele and around 2.7mrad windage.
Using 130gn Norma at 2900 fps I had 8.8mrad ele and 2.3 windage. (This was earlier when the wind wasn't so bad.)
My two mates were using an AX and an AW in 308. One using 155gn Noslers and the other 155SMK`S and Lapua 170gn Lockbase.
He found the Lockbase to be much better in those conditions.
One of the chaps ran out of windage with his PM11! He reckoned the bullets drift was about 23 feet!
Some folk next to us were using F class in 308 with stout 200gn loads and doing pretty well.
