Thank you to you all that made this possible, this was by far the best weekend in years. I fully echo the other comments, was a great group of people to shoot with. We stayed on campus, cooked out every night, and had long conversations about ELR with some very knowledgeable folks until early mornings. 😎

Here is some more evidence, also JayB that I did keep log...

After looking at this carefully looks like i have to go on a diet
 
With those BBQ skills you possess, it's gonna be hard!!
True that, its a continuous struggle :hungry: and the car is getting a little snug around the posterior..

I have some takeaways from the weekend either by experience or discussion:

1) 1220 yds is quite possible and repeatable with a 16" AR15 (77gr IMI Razor Core ammo)
2) Reading wind accurately is 80% of solving the shooting problem at least for me
3) BC might be overrated and is not as important as small vertical displacement between shots i.e. consistency (to be tested)
4) Raising the rifle for a more comfortable position, preloading my bipod and supporting the front handguard to control the recoil impulse makes for more accurate shooting and keeping the scope sight picture on target

Not saying this is the solution for all problems buy my takeaways to either be tested or effort to be applied to get better at it.

Any other takeaways?
