We’ve been playing with the RMR 69 gr OTMs for a few weeks. Easily a sub MOA bullet, and we got one on steel at 1300 yards today with the Rem 700.
This is the target we use for 1 mile shots, but I hit it from the 1300 yard shooting spot. Without the target light hit indicator, we couldn’t have known there was a hit. It’s a mosquito bite at that distance.
6.5 CM on the 1300 yard target next to if for comparison.
We were getting 2855 FPS out of my 5R Bolt gun. The interesting thing about these bullets was that they were very consistent at all distances and even 1,300yrds. Ie once we figured our 22 mils mortar session, we only missed left or right or left or left, not losing its juice going transonic and falling apart. Wind kicked our ass all day long, we were 5 mils of wind.
This is what 5 mils looks like:
Yard sale on guns. Lucky when the tents got blown over while we were painting, most of the guns had been taken of the table to the ground.
It was hot as a mofo yesterday too, so we paid a price. But when you get locked indoors all week, you have to get out, just try and get out early. Yea, I’m pretty pumped about these bullets too.
We keep slinging these bullets, and keep being impressed. Normally when we shoot a full bore caliber the come up from 900 yards to 1000 yards is about 1 mil. These are like 2 mils out of a 16" gas gun. So they’re really starting to run out of ass. But they still get there. Pappabear was dancing around our 1300 gong with a 8 power LPVO maxed out at 25 mils, plus 2 additional hold over. WAY outside the effective range, but impressive that a $0.14 bullet could even get there.
The consistency is what boggled my mind. Normally 69’s shit the bed at 1k flying all over the place. These were missing based on wind. It was impressive.
I don’t remember us doing any test, but maybe a good plan for next time out. I think more of a precision bullet vs HD, but testing is a good idea to see where they land.
