Having a crack at 1000 yards with the Tikka 270. Not much of a show of marksmanship but there was one hit, just on the very edge. The plate is 12"x12" and the scope is a Vx2 3-9x40 which really made keeping on target difficult. The wind reading and adjusting needing a lot more practice.

Well done getting on the steel
good stuff vapour. How much did you have to allow for the wind at that range with 135's?
I started around 5 MOA guessing around 6mph for right to left wind - but ended up down to about 0.5 moa - when we got back to target it had died right down to almost nothing. I suspect my poi is a bit rightish at that range perhaps?
Next time you put the target out hang some ribbon next to it to get an idea of the wind at target.
