Nate Statler 2000 yards record which he shot in the afternoon and broke his 1 mile record in the morning was even impressive, considering that the wind was brutal in the afternoon. I was shooting the 300 grain Berger OTM with my 338 Lapua Ackley and only managed to hit 1 out of 3 at 2011 yards target.

Nate Statler 2000 yards record which he shot in the afternoon and broke his 1 mile record in the morning was even impressive, considering that the wind was brutal in the afternoon.

Id still drink a beer to that... I got berger 300 vlds Ive been developing a load for. But I have some OTMs and Elite hunters too I think... I wouldnt think a load would be much different for them... still not sure what shoots best. 98.5gr re33 in a 30 inch barrel.
I used nothing but 300 SMK since I started shooting the 338 nine years ago. I only switched to Berger OTM after deciding to shoot the ELR World Record Event. I found out that the OTM is shooting a bit flatter than the SMK. I used 95 grain of Retumbo for both bullet and getting 2870 fps velocity from a 30" barrel. I only had two weekend to prepare for this shoot. I wish I had more time to practice.
I recorded this video with my Go-Pro showing impact from a 300 grain Berger OTM Hybrid at 2000 yards during one of my shooting practice.
I enjoy the innovation competition like ELR bring to the market. I see this becoming a who has the most money along with the talent like so many other sports if it hasn't headed that way already. I recently stumbled onto a article about the 14.9 SOP made from the 20mm Vulcan case. Even though they said the gun was a 100 plus pounds and wouldn't qualify for this competition its a great example of engineering and what can be achieved today. This kind of competition should bring out some great guns.
Both are equally accurate on my rifle. However as I alluded on my previous post, I've had a lot of experienced shooting the SMK on our local 1000 yards shoot here in Southern Cal. Below are some of my score from these shoots. These are not true F-Class target by the way. The X are 10" in diameter.

No problem Alex.
The target is pulled and mark from shot to shot so you can see your previous hit.
