Default 1000 or BUST!

Making this thread to keep a tally, record, and share my journey to 1000yds. My goal is to be able to hit a gong at 1000yds within the first five rounds shot at that distance. If you know a little about long range shooting, you realize it’s not as easy as just aiming and pulling the trigger. There are a lot of variables and math involved. So, to start off I will be purchasing a new rifle with a caliber that can get the job done ( I’ll have to do my part tho). I will update this thread with my journey, experiences, mistakes, positives, negatives, ect. Hope y’all will follow along on my road to 1K!

PS: a little disclaimer is that I HAVE shot and hit a target at 1K but, with someone else’s kit. I want to accomplish this with MY setup.

I was going to bring that up. Around what range it needed to be considered? Does it depend on the cartridge and velocity at range? Ect......
