new to longer range shooting

[ICANHITHIMMAN]

I just got home from Iraq 3 weeks ago so I no just how you feel

[jrock86]

Where bouts in New York are you? I was born and raised in Elmira and lived in Cortland before I enlisted, you active or Reserve/National Guard?

[ICANHITHIMMAN]

I am in the Res now I did my 4 years active and got out joined the res been deployed twice sence then. Whats your MOS?

[jrock86]

I am 11B but we should be 11M. Being on a brad in Iraq I am well versed in long range hunting, there is nothing better than zeroing your chain gun at 1200 meters!!

[ICANHITHIMMAN]

Never had a chain gun but sounds fun thats 25mm right? Hope you get some time at home before you go back man!

[jrock86]

yea it is 25mm, with both sub cal and full cal rounds, mv is as high as 1500 mps, but then again we use a 84" barrel

the hornady light mag and the fed high energy are good loads. they are more expensive. they offer more velocity and energy. i would go with the most accurate load .for deer i would use 150's or 165's which ever shot less than an inch out of my 30-06. roninflag
