Welcome to the 17th episode of the Texas Plinking 1 MOA At 1,000 Yards Challenge. A monthly video series where I let 5 fans come out with their equipment and attempt to shoot a 10" gong at 1,000 yards in under 10 shots. If they hit it, they can use their remaining shots on the 5" gong. The 10" gong is worth 10 points and goes down 1 point after every shot. The 5" gong is worth 20 points and goes down 2 points after every shot. Once both are hit, the challenge is complete and each unfired round is an additional point. New episodes go live on the 1st Monday of every month!
It would be better if you had a spotters scope just behind the shooter and to the left of right of him, so that you can record what the projectile is doing, put this way i believe i would have a good go at it, if someone would lend a good F class match rifle ,as i have shot at 1,200 yards with very high winds and still get the v's and even score a 48/50 at those distances and thats with a 5.56mm x 51 ,sure custom loads, but its all about the weapon system, if its all been blueprinted and balanced etc, which none of the men or shooters mention if the weapons they are using are or not, just saying thats all. But then again i know a good weapon system cost around 10k or better still i wonder if someone will bring the new MK22 which is around 20K in AU dollars and depending on which caliber you ask for as its a MRAD system. cheers 👍🦘👌✌
@@newenglandrider3189shooter himself here, it’s to make the rifle not jump when shooting off of bags or windowsills in competitions. As stated I’m a comp shooter and many Texas shooters weigh their rifles down to get easy visual on impacts and splashes to correct quickly in the smaller 2 min windows. Also significantly reduces felt recoil. Furthermore a muzzle brake alone or weights alone won’t get you the comp gun you want.
@@Broke_BallisticsI was just about to comment, I think you had one of the most impressive shoots on the 1MOA 1000 yd challenge. Coming from a guy that shoots a lot, it was nice to watch your rifle system and yourself work together. The rifle did everything you asked, and it looked like it would have shot a hell of a group also.
Michael is officially my favorite shooter from the whole series. No bs, no crazy high end components, just got behind the rifle and went to work. No stupid huge pauses between shots, just sent them and adjusted on the fly! Love that guy
@@Broke_Ballistics for sure dude. Your whole character was really outstanding! Calm cool and collected but still able to goof off is a treat when many of the shooters are kinda stiff. Good job on the challenge man!
I love this series. The second kid was so likeable, just happy to be there. I wanted so bad for him to get a hit, I was grinning like an idiot when he landed the shot.
@@thisiconisactuallygoofysfa9960 maybe like 1.2k total. Why? Also I’m in my profile picture with the rifle dude. What you need to understand is that my entire setup is cheaper than many of the scopes that people use in this comp alone. My setup is known in the prs community to be very bottom line and budget friendly. We are talking about long distance precision rifles dude
@@Broke_Ballistics I know you are man I’m just messing with you. I’m not into prs and I like to make fun of shooters that do it, all love. Nice rifle btw also thought it looked very sexy
Second guy definitely knew what he was doing. Very smooth bolt manipulation, quick followup shots, and good followthrough on the trigger press. That competition shooting experience was on full display.
by the sounds of it hes a precision rifle competition guy. my main squeeze for shooting currently. i thoroughly enjoy it. massive money pit for kit, it just never ends. im from the uk and a couple guys run the red dot on the scope. i personally dont, not that im not a fan mainly just budgeting and buying stuff that i feel is more important. i would still love to have a crack at something like this though.
And he actually used his mags! I never could understand why people single load rifles that work fine with mags. It forces you tp break and rebuild your position with every shot, making it way harder to be consistent.
Good time had by all and great experience. That Ruger American still showed pretty consistent grouping. Love the fact that a bone stock off the shelf is capable of competing with a 10 grand set-up.
@@APlife764 I know these are excuses at the end of the day, but I’ll try to explain my perspective lol. It’s hard to tell in the video but where we were shooting from was angled downhill. My bipod was maxed out and the gun was still super low so I had crappy recoil management and that’s why I couldn’t see my misses. I normally see all my impacts at 600 on full magnification so I was really aggravated. After he turned the cameras off I put the bipod on a flat rock for some extra elevation and got it dialed in for an impact on round 6 and then hit pretty consistent from then on. I’m super disappointed I didn’t hit it but I know what was wrong and a simple flat rock fixed it right up lol The gun and ammo were definitely up to the task. All of the rounds that are bunched on top of each other in the video are from me holding same point of aim cus I couldn’t tell where my misses were to make adjustments. I saw rounds 4, 8, and 10 impact. I knew they were all right so I just added 1.5 MOA to my wind hold on round 10 and missed by almost exactly that much lol.
I thought I was the only one that used the Magpul slanted forward grip as a bag rider. A buddy of mine was making fun of me because of it. Can't wait for him to see this video. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yeah it was. I own a 06 in a go wild n box ammo she will cut quarters at 100 yards. Same as my gen 2 .243. My buddy also has a go wild 6.5 prc n she's a shooter too.....tagging on with the high end rigs for sure.
Seeing that Ruger RPR perform like that makes me happy in my choice to buy one! I've got the same rifle chambered in the same round, the same vortex venom and the same bipod! Hell yea!
battlefield guy was awesome and I couldn't help but see myself in him lol I have a Savage 110 tactical in 6.5cm that's my budget build. I've been practicing like crazy and dialing in some handloads to shoot out to 1000yds for the first time. Just love seeing cheaper builds that can hang. 👍
I bought a 6.5CM Ruger Precision a couple years ago. Used, low round count - for less than $900. I added an Atlas bipod, mono-pod for the rear, and a Athlon Midas 5x-25x scope. It is a cheat code at 700 yards (longest range accessible to me.) This was also the first caliber I started reloading - and that was easy as well with a basic Hornady Lock & Load setup. When it cools off, I have scouted a few good spots where I can shoot 1000+ and I am excited to see how it does. The RPRs are fantastic rifles for the money.
make sure to barrel swap precision rifles every 2-4k rounds. And deep clean chamber and bore every 250-300. Then blow 10-15shots down the barrel post cleaning. Youll get accuracy you wouldn't believe. - Michael
@@McgSpookbro me too. Thank you for bringing that up. If I see elevation being off and the shooter doesn’t adjust I’m like okay here we go. A great group too high/low incoming
@@talon0863 on a side note to that.. he had a 15x55 NF competition scope. i can see my bullet holes at 1k using the same scope. if he wasnt seeing splash maybe zoom in a bit? i think he said something about shooting on 15x power. f that noise.
very common in f class and BR shooting. if you like that you should look into drop port where the cases fall out the bottom into a can/rag so you only touch it one time. makes shooting strings really fast and easy.
Kudos to all of the party of this challenge , extremely difficult event that requires an immense level of skill , hitting a target at 1000 yards is no joke
The RPR is an awesome rifle! The biggest difference between it and A LOT of the others is coolness factor. Anyone that shoots knows full well what im talking about 🤣 i own a 6.5 c RPR and its an absolute tack driver ( just doesn't sound as cool as saying accuracy international) lol
Michael is one of the few I see actually using the scope properly by adjusting during shooting. So many don't touch the scope even if the consistently miss to the same area. Guys, use the scope adjustment after consistent shots
Another fantastic episode! Gotta love that Texas wind. These are always so exciting from a physics perspective. Especially considering most of the variables you’re calculating for are controlled by the friggin’ Earth. That first guy had some pretty “Patriotic” tattoos. Wonder if he’s a big history buff or just loves visiting washington or something.
@@Broke_BallisticsMicheal you’ll regret this comment🤣 Im coming back just to make sure I score 1 more point than you!!!! You sound like a fun fellow! Hopefully u come back so I can meet you!
@@anameek4727 oh I’d love to! Got a PSA ar15 I think would be make for a fun entry and a spray painted ruger american. I’ll show up in a ghillie suit with 😂
The point explanation at the beginning was much more concise and easy to follow. Good job. If people havent figured out how it works by now i dont have much hope, but that new explanation should help.
@Damoclis bro nice shooting, do u play on the map that has MikeVlad StrayRoundz and the golmud crew & I'm known as the Albanian RebeL on there lol. I also have a hex mosin ex sniper made before the war, I think I'd do ok once I get my hands on Lapua 54R ammo for this challenge. I use the GOL on bf4 hope to see u on there again, if u don't mind me asking whats ur bf name
@Damoclis oh man ur missing out the gol is the best 👌 👍 sniper rifle on there for sure the load times are insane and bullet speed i guess would be the same as the chaytec but the rifle is just better balanced and easier to get longer range kills. I always feel like I have the upper hand vs Chaytec snipers. Will need to help u get it unlocked 🔓 one of these days.
To Ethan, man you're close... You want to hold that rear bag with your left hand and give it a squeeze to hold your elevation solid, but let the bipod do its _own_ thing, otherwise the bag tends to sag under recoil. You were shooting right, probably zoomed way too close to see your own splash? Zoom out a bit so you have more field of view. As several sniper instructors have stated, extra magnification only magnifies your _own_ errors, so "less is more" accurate. That rifle's a shooter if you add those two shooting fundamentals!
Am I mistaken or did Tommy say he has his action set-up the way he does so he doesn't have to take his cheek off the buttstock but after every shot, he took his cheek off the buttstock?
He said it just made it easier to see ejection port without craning your neck if you were so inclined. He didn't say it wasn't permissible to move your head or cheek if you wanted to.
I'm impressed with the grouping that the Ruger American was giving. That guy had the trigger control and consistency to hit that plate if he could see where his shots were going. Looked like he was having trouble without a spotter. That light gun and bipod was probably pretty unstable for spotting.
If it wasn't a 18 hour drive from SE Ohio to Round Rock, I'd love to give this a shot. We don't have the wind you guys have here though. But atleast I'm lucky to have a 1000yd range within 20minutes from the house.
Well... i instantly knew that it would be a heck of a challenge for the first bergara guy. The carbon fibre barrels are fine for hunting, but not especially for target shooting at long distances. That was simply the wrong tool for the task.
Kind of puts into perspective the long-range hunters who are claiming 1000 yard shots. I'm not making any judgements, but when we've now watched 17 of these episodes and only one or two have had first round hits. That's with heavy precision rigs, stable shooting position, known elevation change, perfectly known distance, high contrast targets, and all the time you want. All I can say is; if you're genuinely making hunting shots at, let's say, 800-1000+ yards (which a loooooooot of people claim to have done), then that is one heck of shot.
Brother I have an idea to take this to a whole different level. It is the one part missing that would be easy to add. Well two things: 1.) heartbeat while each person is shooting on monitor and paired with the sound in the background. 2.) a separate mic for the wind or a gauge at the shooter and rid yourself of the wind on their current mic. Just some thoughts to keep more engagement because imo a live heartbeat as they are going through their cycles would be awesome. Lowest of all time type stuff, shooting between heartbeats, etc. could be interesting
I agree man. Awesome rifle. I love the gun but just couldn’t stay in the scope with the downhill slope of the ground there and my bipod maxed out. The gun definitely wasnt the issue! After we got done filming I got a rock under my bipod where I had a better position behind the gun and started ringing the 10” pretty regular. I feel like I disappointed ruger American lovers everywhere in the video tho lol
I got to shoot 1k for first time a few weeks ago. I hit a silhouette target in 3rd shot. I live in the mtns of NC and we only have one 1000 yard range and it’s very hard to get into it to shoot. People that have access to long ranges don’t know how lucky they are. The range I have full access to only goes to 200 yards.
10 times better Challenge than xrings one mile. Thanks for putting in the time to Host so many shoots with real Shooters!!! Watching guys with jerseys doing sponsor commercials gets old quick.
@@dragline97 x-ring is one cool sum-bitch, if you don't believe me ask him. LoL He has some good stuff and I'm not the least bit jealous. I just think he's more cocky than confident.
Hey Brandon, love this series. Not sure if you have done it in the past. But you should do a video on how to start into long range shooting. I just built a bolt action inspired by your channel and would love more info for starting out and any tips or tricks. One day I would like this to be in this challenge. Thanks, keep up the great content.
Caldwell Accu Pro Bipods rule!! And, my 6.5 Creed, 24", with Athlon Optics Helos BTR 6-24x50mmAPMR FFP IR, will pick the fleas off a Tick's Back at 1'000 Yrd!
@TexasPlinking could you zoom out a "hair" (like maybe 1/3?) so we can all see the wind mirage a little better? A wind meter would be "the cat's meow" too if you have a Kestrel ETC you could put down horizontal to the 1k line in a 3rd view from a crappy old cell phone? (I know you probably have one in your desk! 😅) I know it's "one more cog" in the wheel, but a major production value! Awesome series man!

2nd guy was my favorite. Happy with his setup and just happy to be there. Not to mention he can shoot 🎯👀.
I agree. I am just unsure why he needs weights for a 6.5 Creedmoor, especially since he has a muzzle break. 🤷♂
@newenglandrider3189 personal preference and balance I guess. I have a 20 lb 308 has a 5 lb lead weight in the stock. It's like shooting a 223.

If you’ve played me then I’ve definitely c4 keeper you atleast 5 times
@Damoclis bro nice shooting, do u play on the map that has MikeVlad StrayRoundz and the golmud crew & I'm known as the Albanian RebeL on there lol. I also have a hex mosin ex sniper made before the war, I think I'd do ok once I get my hands on Lapua 54R ammo for this challenge. I use the GOL on bf4 hope to see u on there again, if u don't mind me asking whats ur bf name
@@redfirekla same as RUclips for now lol. I use the cheytac. Dont have the gol yet lol
@Damoclis oh man ur missing out the gol is the best 👌 👍 sniper rifle on there for sure the load times are insane and bullet speed i guess would be the same as the chaytec but the rifle is just better balanced and easier to get longer range kills. I always feel like I have the upper hand vs Chaytec snipers. Will need to help u get it unlocked 🔓 one of these days.
@@redfirekla hell yeah 😂
Lovin this channel. Keep up the great work. Greetings from Australia 🇦🇺
2nd Guy was fucking Dialed! Lmao
Thanks bro!
@@Broke_Ballistics was that you?
@@MichaelSchwab-nk4rm yes 😂
fellow beaumont resident myself awesome to see hometown guys on your show
To Ethan, man you're close... You want to hold that rear bag with your left hand and give it a squeeze to hold your elevation solid, but let the bipod do its _own_ thing, otherwise the bag tends to sag under recoil. You were shooting right, probably zoomed way too close to see your own splash? Zoom out a bit so you have more field of view. As several sniper instructors have stated, extra magnification only magnifies your _own_ errors, so "less is more" accurate. That rifle's a shooter if you add those two shooting fundamentals!
I woke up and got a nice surprise with a new episode! I love watching these!
Really perfect content.
Am I mistaken or did Tommy say he has his action set-up the way he does so he doesn't have to take his cheek off the buttstock but after every shot, he took his cheek off the buttstock?
He said it just made it easier to see ejection port without craning your neck if you were so inclined. He didn't say it wasn't permissible to move your head or cheek if you wanted to.
11:46 that’s MONEY DUDE
Thank you bro! Been practicing my shot lol
Great to finally see some good weather for one of these. Not blowing 10-25mph
Wind: low. Temps: high!
I'm impressed with the grouping that the Ruger American was giving. That guy had the trigger control and consistency to hit that plate if he could see where his shots were going. Looked like he was having trouble without a spotter. That light gun and bipod was probably pretty unstable for spotting.
12:50 was that bird laughing at that shot?
Hah!
first guy was my favorite. humbled
Michael's RPR is a laser!! Possibly the best shooting rifle and shooter in the history of this challenge. Super freaking great Michael!!!
Ah shit dat me. Thanks bro. Much love
Nice work man! Love the RPR!
@@Broke_Ballisticstop stuff my friend
@@paulcox9366 hell yeah

Love that second guy 😂
Thanks man!
@@Broke_Ballistics way to get your practice done on some battlefield 🤣
GREAT CHALLENGE, LOVE THIS SERIES 😁 yep #2 very impressive 👏👏, They All did well , that's a long ways out 2/3 of a mile about ❤
Fantastic, always enjoy 😊thanks
Love these series
If it wasn't a 18 hour drive from SE Ohio to Round Rock, I'd love to give this a shot. We don't have the wind you guys have here though. But atleast I'm lucky to have a 1000yd range within 20minutes from the house.
I'm in the same boat. Think we can get Tom to set up a version of this and the Blackjack targets for us to try? At least we could pretend then.
@@outofsync6269 wouldn't be too hard for him to set up a blackjack rack on the front half at all.
Well... i instantly knew that it would be a heck of a challenge for the first bergara guy. The carbon fibre barrels are fine for hunting, but not especially for target shooting at long distances. That was simply the wrong tool for the task.
Kind of puts into perspective the long-range hunters who are claiming 1000 yard shots. I'm not making any judgements, but when we've now watched 17 of these episodes and only one or two have had first round hits. That's with heavy precision rigs, stable shooting position, known elevation change, perfectly known distance, high contrast targets, and all the time you want. All I can say is; if you're genuinely making hunting shots at, let's say, 800-1000+ yards (which a loooooooot of people claim to have done), then that is one heck of shot.
Brother I have an idea to take this to a whole different level. It is the one part missing that would be easy to add. Well two things: 1.) heartbeat while each person is shooting on monitor and paired with the sound in the background. 2.) a separate mic for the wind or a gauge at the shooter and rid yourself of the wind on their current mic.
Just some thoughts to keep more engagement because imo a live heartbeat as they are going through their cycles would be awesome. Lowest of all time type stuff, shooting between heartbeats, etc. could be interesting
All great rifles. Thanks for this video
The Ruger American in 7mm PRC stacked the first 3 shots in what looks like under 1 MOA. For a $600 rifle, thats impressive.
I agree man. Awesome rifle. I love the gun but just couldn’t stay in the scope with the downhill slope of the ground there and my bipod maxed out. The gun definitely wasnt the issue! After we got done filming I got a rock under my bipod where I had a better position behind the gun and started ringing the 10” pretty regular. I feel like I disappointed ruger American lovers everywhere in the video tho lol
As always, great video. Greetings from Bremen, Germany. 😃👍
It never ceases to amaze me, Dudes will spend 8k On a rifle, and then never put in the time to make handloads for it.
i see this a lot. and then they get mad that it barely shoots MOA. id rather hand load for a cheap rifle then use an expensive one with factory ammo.
@@McgSpook 100% Agree, as long as it's not some clapped out garbage wand.
I got to shoot 1k for first time a few weeks ago. I hit a silhouette target in 3rd shot. I live in the mtns of NC and we only have one 1000 yard range and it’s very hard to get into it to shoot. People that have access to long ranges don’t know how lucky they are. The range I have full access to only goes to 200 yards.
Great stuff as always so cool to see.
Ive waited so patiently for this.
10 times better Challenge than xrings one mile. Thanks for putting in the time to Host so many shoots with real Shooters!!! Watching guys with jerseys doing sponsor commercials gets old quick.
X-Ring is the truth. No one can match his swag!!!!!
@@dragline97 x-ring is one cool sum-bitch, if you don't believe me ask him. LoL He has some good stuff and I'm not the least bit jealous. I just think he's more cocky than confident.
The RPR guy and the Way point are getting it done .
RPR guy here, thank you!
@@Broke_Ballistics man the way you just enjoyed it made my day. Especially with an affordable setup… great job
@ thanks bro!
Guy number 3 with the specs, hat and Rugar American let his nerves do the shooting here I think.
Hey Brandon, love this series. Not sure if you have done it in the past. But you should do a video on how to start into long range shooting. I just built a bolt action inspired by your channel and would love more info for starting out and any tips or tricks. One day I would like this to be in this challenge. Thanks, keep up the great content.
Caldwell Accu Pro Bipods rule!! And, my 6.5 Creed, 24", with Athlon Optics Helos BTR 6-24x50mmAPMR FFP IR, will pick the fleas off a Tick's Back at 1'000 Yrd!
That Ruger American was shooting good….. just couldn’t spot his impacts & on/off the gun! Great episode!
2nd guy was fresh off a night of battlefield😂 there was never a doubt
On top of that, I was working until 10pm the night before too. Got drunk and played bf4 before sleeping
@@Broke_Ballistics absolute legend. up there with mosin chad.
@@abones900 bro that’s an honor, seriously.
Love watching these. I'd like to get out there sometime and try it out. I have a Burris Eliminator Scope I'd love to see work for that distance.
Man I would love to take a crack at this but Canada is a long way away from Texas. No range near me has anything over 200 yards 😢
Are you out East? Would love to do something like this in Canada.
What a great series! Big fan from the uk. Wish I had a range like this near me!
MAAAATTTT DAAAAAAAAAMONNNN
The guy with the 284 shot amazing groups defo good loads 👍
@TexasPlinking could you zoom out a "hair" (like maybe 1/3?) so we can all see the wind mirage a little better? A wind meter would be "the cat's meow" too if you have a Kestrel ETC you could put down horizontal to the 1k line in a 3rd view from a crappy old cell phone? (I know you probably have one in your desk! 😅) I know it's "one more cog" in the wheel, but a major production value! Awesome series man!
Another great episode!
That right cycle left eject rifle… it works for my left handed brain lol:):)
Fantastic watching
Another awesome episode! I hope I can get down there sometime!
