I took my DW to the rifle range today to zero the sights for a long range target comp next sunday. After having shot from both 50 and 100 meters we moved to 300 m and tried a few rounds just for fun. The target was probably five feet across and the black spot 1½ feet but it sure didn't feel like it 
I hit the target with most of my rounds when I held almost all of the front sight above the rear but hitting the black center was purely luck since it also was quite windy. Really cool to be able to put lead on target at rifle-ranges with a revolver

Next time you go to shoot that distance, bring some clay birds with you – birght neons are easy to find and you can see them break.
If you're going to drink, don't drive. Don't even putt.

Jim: Nope Samson/IMI .44 mag. I haven't gotten hold of any .44 bullets for reloading yet. Got brass and primers but not the bullets 
ph: Do you expect me to hit a 6″ clay from 300 meters (330 yards)??? I'm glad I hit the 5' target! Gotta bring a lot of clays in that case. I'm not superman. Lol 
No I had a guy standing in the concrete trench below the targets with a marking stick showing me the hits after every shot. Sweet.
Needless to say, It was a lot of fun!

Nice looking range!
If you are hitting at 300 meters you might want to participate in the August DWF Shooting Match[Image Can Not Be Found]!

That sounds & looks like fun, I'd be lucky to hit it once out of a dozen tries.

Our range has a couple gongs at 300 meters. I like to shoot them for fun, in between silhouette practice. It is a LOT of fun hitting them with a revolver...sure does surprise a few riflemen there when you ring it repeatedly.

That's cool. What are the gongs made of? Hanging from chains or something? Size? Please post a picture here if you've got one 🙂

The gongs are just old scrap, very soft steel, hanging from chains. One is manhole cover size, the other is dinner plate size. Here's a pic of one of the Specialty Pistols shoots we had here. Those are Half-Scale silhouette chickens on the rail.
Sorry, none of the above is me. Here's what the gongs look like from the firing line with 6 of the Half-Scale targets on the rail.

Dang, I can barely make out the BIG gong in that bottom pic!

Thanks! The club does a nice job keeping the range up. 300 meters IS a fair piece away, but those gongs take a good beating at times, especially with the single-shots. The revolvers are a bit tougher, but not impossible.
