900-1000 yards is where the 338 Lapua excells it was designed as a sniper round that has a maximum effect range of 1600 yards but has been used effectively well past 2000 yards A 338 Lapua will push a 300 grain bullet at 2800fps/mv In the hands of a competent well practiced shot a 960 yard shot on a moose sized vital area is both ethical and very make able. With a 300 grain bullet a 338 LM still has very close to 2k foot-pounds of impact way more than enough to kill anything in North America
Mussle pressure is unknown for lapua but that’s an easy shot to see! The arc is aggressive! I’m looking at distance again overall nice takedown! That was a tank!! Good work!
Damn,that big guy took two lapua's and was still walking around,what a stud! Don't know what moa is on that round but you can clearly see a hell of a lot of drop downrange.👏👍
This shows who knows there equipment ,and rifles ability. Those were not just 2 random shots. Those were precise placed shots. Congrats. ! Why get equipment that is capable of this range of shooting and only be able to use on the range? That is why you get to know your equipment capability. Is so you can make those precise shots.
🗣Congrats on an awesome hunt and markman’s ship. 🤠SEMPER FI 🇺🇸( honestly, the quality of the video 🎥 looks like it 96 yards not 960 yards). But, you don’t see bullet VAPOR TRAILS and the arch of the round at 96 yards either. 😎
as far as distance goes..i def not approving this in any way, you can call this perfect shots but they are based on 50/50 factor, anyone with years of hunting experience will say that, killing an animal is taking a life from him, and this must be done in quickest way possible with as low as possible risk of missing of what you actually trying to hit... moose is a big animal ,obviously third of its body is lungs alone so you can say its hard to miss, but let me tell you hitting a large bug on the way of those 960 yards can change its way drastically, so lets not chase the records and just respect of whats out there for us
So many "hunters" say that its not about killing or for sport, its about feeding your family. Here is somone who didn't need the "thrill" of getting in close to do just that. He took 2 shots and the animal went down enough said.
All these people complaining lol a tag is a tag. Here in the coast range of oregon bow hunters are the most unethical hunters. We find dead elk not recovered several times a year. Its pathetic!
I would not do this, but my goodness those were great shots. Anyone saying otherwise has not tried to make shots from that distance. Two in a row is insane.
Curious what bullet you used? I shoot a .340 Weatherby Mag which is a little more efficient and a lot cheaper to shoot with factory ammo but I want to load some 26gr. Long Range Accubonds. Not a shot I would take unless I had to fill my freezer but glad to know I could. Do you use an UTV to get to the animal? Any bears where you are, they hear the shot, smell the blood and get there before you do in some areas’s if your hiking to the kill.
Getting into the game at that distance may not be my cup of tea but WOW! That definitely takes some marksmanship! Thank you for sharing and congratulations on your beautiful trophy!
These comments are examples of why the Anti gun crowd is winning. We attack each other with hate over opinions like ethical shots. When to take a shot is up to the individual so stfu and use your rules to guide your hunting not criticizing others.
They're exclaiming their joy because it was a successful shot with a successful follow up shot at a great distance not because of killing as anti hunters would have you think but because they were successful in attaining their goal, much like a sports team cheering after winning the championship
Wow the fudds in the comment section are wild, this was a great hunt, his freezer is full and he didn't even have to get close. There is nothing unethical about shooting long distance, i guarantee all of you have shot a deer at 50 yards and not killed it, i know because i see you idiots at the gun range shotting 1 round every 5 minutes and getting a shit group still at 100 yards. He made the shot which is more than almost all of you can say.
I love hunting but I'd be very embarrassed to show this . Zero hunting skills involved. All this shows is you can't hunt . Unless you are handicapped this is just dumb
