[QUOTE="rost495, post: 58738, member: 1768"] FWIW I've had some super long pokes at coyotes with my M1A and 180 Sierras. Now its tough to shoot around 1400 yards or so but my cousin has plowed open fields. Let me just say I've shot a bunch and killed nothing and have no paper proof. But once you had elevation, it would hold that well enough, about 2 times as tall as a coyote. Now as to the wind factors.... well that was really tough. Closest I've ever been was right between the legs once. I suspect that most folks assume that once the bullet goes subsonic its toast. Though I have no testing I feel that there is a zone of distance, like from X to Y yards that its bad, and after that it will be fine again. Phooey on those that have to have proof on everything thats ever been done. Do it how you want to. Shawn thats not directly at you but I'm sick of folks proclaiming that because they have not done it or can't do it to prove it to them. Too many doubting thomas's around. I've made some shots in front of some hunters from FL that I suspect they are called liars each time they tell it. But I did it and don't care what others think. Thank you for allowing my occasional soapbox time. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] Jeff [/QUOTE]
