[QUOTE="CatShooter, post: 170620, member: 7"] It is a myth that the bullet must be supersonic to be accurate. Many long range shooters shoot past the point where the bullet falls below ~1080fps, with no problem. The following is an interesting read: [url]http://www.northfloridashooting.com/Misc/2MilePrarieDogs/2MilePrarieDogShooters.htm[/url] At two miles, and with a .308 Ackley (which is not quite as powerful as a 30-06). There is also a group of shooters that are using the .303 Brit, .308, and 30-06 in Scotland, and shooting regularly at 2,200 yds (2,000 mtrs) with no problems. It can be done with normal cartridges, and good optics - but you need a lot (I mean a LOT) of elevation, no matter what cartridge you use. My 50BMG is set up so I have 145 moa of elevation [b]ABOVE[/b] the 100 yd zero, and it should be able to reach ~2,700 meters (though I have only been able to find 1,900 meters of stretch in my part of the country). .
