[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 289620, member: 2011"] Sounds like an interesting project. Kind of like something I would do.:) I think the first thing is to define long range. I spend a long an enjoyable day shooting 22 LR at 500 yards. If a 22 will get there so will the 458. The process will be the same. Gravity is pretty much constant with the wind being the challenge. An accurate drop chart along with an accurate LRF I don't see why it wouldn't work. Also, I've watched the buffalo gunners shoot 500 meters with peep sights and do most probably better than most LRH fellas could do. At least I was intimidated. Shot placement may be a bit different as the trajectory may be pretty steep as entered the spine and exited the brisket. :) I"d even consider a decent cast bullet for the purpose. [/QUOTE]
