[QUOTE="rost495, post: 58678, member: 1768"] If I'm not mistaken, the shots like at Adobe Walls, were way subsonic. And if I understand it correctly, the problem lies where the bullet is between super and sub sonic. After its subsonic its stable again mostly till it falls. I recall that LR article in PS. Seems like they had stupidly silly looking tapered scope mounts. But it was required for the distance they were plinking at. I don't think that 308 AI or even Win is the ideal cartridge to attempt a super long shot. But that doesn't mean its not feasible. Last input is that in smallbore shooting there is a large difference in matches at 50 yards and at 50 meters. Subsonic being a big factor. And that influences folks to use different ammo as required so that their bullets were not in the transition zone at the target face. Hence the offering of different speed target ammo in 22lr match ammo. Of course I was not a great 3 position shooter and most of my error was in my wobble, not the possible wobble of my projectiles. At least until I could get prone.... Jeff [/QUOTE]
