New 1,000 Yard World Record Set With Berger Bullets (where Berger bullets shine - me) Congratulations to Charles Greer on setting TWO new world records for 1,000 yard benchrest shooting! Charles’ record has now been officially recognized by the NBRSA after being thoroughly measured and scrutinized by officials. On February 13, 2021, during the Saguaro 1,000 yard benchrest match at the Tucson Rifle Club in Three Points, AZ, Charles shot the amazing group you can see in the target pictured here. Charlie Greer Record Target The official records Charles set are: 1,000-Yard Heavy Gun 10-Shot Group of 2.6566”, which beat the previous record of 3.650” established by Tim Height in 2019. 1,000-Yard Heavy Gun 10-Shot Score, a perfect 100-10X, eclipsing the long standing 100-6X set by Bill Schrader in 2005. Charles shared with us, “I’ve used Berger Bullets in my 30 caliber target rifles exclusively and very successfully since 2008. I set four other 1,000-yard world records, two of which are still standing, shooting Berger 30 caliber 210 Grain VLD Target bullets. Currently, I use only the 220 Grain Long Range Hybrid Target bullets. It’s a bullet without a ballistic equal in its weight class. Berger’s are the best!” |

Good shooting. Good load development. |

If 1 MOA = 1" at 100 yards, then would be 10" at 1000 yards - mighty small group indeed! But 2.7" at that distance, that would equate to 0.27 MOA. Allowing for wind shifts amongst a host of other variables & no doubt the coriolis effect (that would come into play as well at that distance i guess) - amazing shooting to say the least! |

I know it's nit picking, but true MOA is 1.047" at 100yards, thus 10.47" is 1 MOA at 1000yards. 2.7" would be .258 MOA, even better. The 5 shot record group at 1000yards now is under 1.068" now and .282" at 600 yards. |
