Not to brag, but me and a lot of my hunter friends hunt wolf, on the run, with .243 and .270 (admittedly hotter than .223) at ranges out to 800 meters. Quote:
If you are one of the people who is capable of making shots at half a mile, my hat is off to you. I consistantly qualified Expert pistol and rifle in the Navy for 10 years and I have never made a half mile kill of anything. My all time longest measured kill of a white tail in PA. was 512 yards measured. I used my dads Winchester Model 99 .284 and a 7x redfield scope. I considered it an extremely lucky shot and it was a gut shot at that (which in my family is considered a disgrace). |

You'd be surprised at the marksmanship that is out there. Now personally I would NEVER,NEVER try an 800 meter shot on a hunt. For that matter 200 yards is the maximum I ever get to hunt out here. But on a range, yeah I've shot at a 1000 yards and hit what I was aimming at. That's with open sites (national match though). It's not that hard to do. Just takes practice! Here is a link you need to check out. There is a sedrvice rifle course of fire and pictures. http://arizona.rifleshooting.com/nmc.html Here is another link to the NRA approved 1000 yard course of fire. Under equipment noticed the rifles listed. http://www.nrahq.org/compete/highpower.asp [ 10-18-2002, 10:21 PM: Message edited by: Sir Taliesin ]

The first link talks about 600 yards as the longest range and the second link, I cannot seem to get to. [ 10-19-2002, 12:36 PM: Message edited by: MagiK ] |
