[QUOTE="Ron J, post: 1215552, member: 83440"] Exactly! It doesn't have the stopping power for light armored vehicles, but it shoots flatter than the .50, and can reach out there. I watched a documentary of various long range shots..... One was a Brit, in Afghanistan. I believe it was over mile..... the Sniper said his first shot was low, and hit a rock just below 3 Combatants, his spotter gave him the corrections and said the 3 guys were sitting there looking at each other not believing it could be a round, as the report hadn't gotten there..... The sniper had already gotten his correction and had one or two rounds down range before the Afganies realized they had been targeted.... got all 3. I'm guessing if a .50cal was used the boys sitting on the side of the road would have known right away they were scoped in. I haven't had the ability to get mine on the range to zero it, and I've had it for almost 6 months..... weather and migraines have kept me from any firearms. I purchased some Hornady 250gr. soft point for target. I'm guessing Hornady brass would be able to stand a couple of reloads, yes? Thanks WildRose.... can you imagine the calculations involved shooting that range in Afghanistan? Unbelievable concentration. Be Well My Friend, Ron [/QUOTE]
