[QUOTE="goodgrouper, post: 58749, member: 2852"] Rost 495, I believe Mr. Slack would have a chance with his .264 mag, but you said yourself that it is hard to connect at 1400 yard with your 308. Now [b]double[/b] your range and and a few more yards and that is how far he is shooting? If that bullet is getting there, it is traveling at about 660 fps says my Infinity program. Thats almost half the velocity of a 22 lr! Maybe there is something to that turbulent zone you talked about, but that would be hard to swallow also.
