[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 661059, member: 5302"] I've seen folks start out at 800 yards in their first Palma match. Having never shot any rifle other than a rimfire .22 at short range, they've layed down on the 800 yard line and busted their first centerfire round in their brand new rifle with brand new handloads. These don't include the guy I helped with his rifle and ammo. I was referring to centerfire rifles. I didn't think rimfire stuff at short range should be included. If you think it should, that's fine. My point is, it doesn't take centerfire experience starting at short range to do reasonably well at long range; if one starts off doing all the right stuff.
