[QUOTE="Topshot, post: 376265, member: 13285"] flounder, I have shot my .338 Edge out to 2285 yards from a M.V. of over 2900 fps, and can tell you that a 1 : 10 twist barrel will not stabilize the 300 SMK through the transonic barrier. B.C. goes to hell after 2000 yards and 300SMK bullets drop like rocks, and land all over the place. Had better luck with 250 grain bullets with the 1 : 10 twist they shoot OK at these distances. You will need a lot of elevation to get up 120 MOA. Maxed out my turret and then used my scope on a lower power setting to get more MOA from my reticle hash marks. This sort of shooting is great fun......good luck and let us know how you get on. [/QUOTE]
