.300 WM Aussie Style — Most Popular 1000-Yard Benchrest Video
Here’s a true “Blast from the Past”, a video featuring our friend Stuart Elliott of Brisbane, Australia. This 2011 video has now racked up nearly 680,000 views, making it probably the most-watched long-range benchrest video ever uploaded to YouTube. The video shows Stuart shooting a 10-shot Heavy Gun string at the Brisbane range, Queensland, Australia, in July 2011. In this example, Stuart elected to “run a condition” with his big, .300 WM Heavy Gun, shooting fast with slight hold-off adjustments as the wind increased during the string. The cartridge is a .300 Winchester Magnum, loaded with moly-coated 190gr Berger VLDs. Stuart has an unusual bolt configuration. After each shot, Stuart removes the bolt completely with his right hand, and then uses the bolt to “shuck” the fired cartridge while loading the new cartridge with his left hand. That sounds awkward, but Stuart makes it all look easy. Stuart runs BRT Shooters Supply, a leading vendor of precision shooting equipment (including March scopes), in Australia and nearby regions.

Do they not have mirage in Australia? Would never get even close to that calm anywhere local where I shoot
Umm, mirage is everywhere in the world. Brisbane is similar to shooting in Florida.
I had a 8-80x march, never that clear above 50x, let alone 80. Guess he got lucky on his copy.
I do recognise the heavy CA (purple fringe) though in the high mag march scopes, seems they all have that.
Hey I know that guy! Well sorta, I bought my Wilson dies off his business. For any other Aussie shooters reading this check out BRT shooter supply. Good prices (nearly American prices!) and very helpful with me being new to hand loading, explaining neck tension and how the Wilson dies are assembled and operated.
Stuart, You new! You’ve been doing competition shooting for about 40yrs and traveled the World shooting.
When are you and Annis coming to visit us again. I will have the Wild Turkey.
Sorry Annie, I can’t spell your name correctly.
Dasher,
I own the 8-80×56 March-X and can easily vouch for its clarity at that magnification. The blue haze (chromatic aberration) is actually much less than in the picture.
NOTHING beats the March for clarity. Google it, because I bet you’ve never owned one mate.
Thanks Annie and Stuart for your sensational service!
