[QUOTE="Mysticplayer, post: 172578, member: 8947"] [b]Extreme distances[/b] at those type of ranges, muzzle velocity is pretty irrelevant. Everything is going to go subsonic at 2000+ yds. May as well not use a cannon that is going to wear out in 1000rds. As far as accuracy goes, there is nothing that can hit a pop can on demand at those type of distances. The best you can do is putting a bullet in 1/2 MOA consistently. That is still many times bigger then the intended target. Even if you had microscopic accuracy, look at what a change in wind speed of 2mph will have on any bullet. Over that much distance, doping all the variables to inside 2mph is very tough. Thus being able to shoot inside 1/2 MOA without alot of wind flags along the way is tough. Personally, my extreme range rifle is working around the 180gr Berger at 2850fps. Very high BC, should stay stable after going subsonic, accurate bullet, reasonably priced to shoot. My goal is to be able to hit 1/2 MOA boulders at 2000+yds. We shall see how successful I get. The last story I read about varminters hitting at these distances, it took many trips and hundreds of rds to get that PD. Personally, that is more like directed spray and pray. My goal is to be able to hit that size of rock approaching 90% of the time. That is already very tough. Jerry [/QUOTE]
