[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 1147953, member: 13632"] Just trying to help, consider this, long range rifles generally are considered capable to 1000 yards, kind of a bench mark distance. Let's load a 215 Berger and a 180 Accubonds since those best represent what your looking at and what is the norm on any long range hunting forum. With any 300 win mag i built this year I hit a bull at 1000 yards with a 215 at 1980 fps and 1.9 moa of wind drift per 5 mph and 1870 ft lbs of energy, your going to hit him with the wind Accubonds at 1721 fps and 2.8 moa of wind drift per 5 mph full value wind and 1184 fr lbs of energy. I have those kind of guys in my life also but now that their hunting at long range also the bullets their shooting also changed for the reasons you see above. You want the best with what you have but you still have the opportunity to get the best you can for a long range hunting situation. It mayball be a mut point if all your wanting is 6-700 yards but if your wanting to push it please consider the numbers above!! [/QUOTE]
