[QUOTE="RDM416, post: 574864, member: 3745"] John, Like Bravo 4 said, I'm not trying to pick on or at you either one. As a person who also built a (aircraft) electronics business from scratch, I have great respect for anyone who builds a successful business much less two of them! It must be real hoot to have your own rifle and ammunition company.:D That said, if you stick around after the initial "sniffing each other out", and I hope you do, you will come to understand a few things about most of the serious LR shooters on this site. One is that for the most part we don't consider 500 yards long range. That may be starting edge of long range but many of us are playing the game at 1000+. No, I don't mean target shooting, I am talking about first round kill shots on big game. The other thing is (just trust me on this one) you don't want to get the discussion started that high BC VLD profile bullets such as Berger and SMKs are not effective big game bullets. This site will serve you hundreds if not thousands of examples to prove you wrong at ranges of almost point blank to waaaay over 1000 yards. If I wanted to total them up I could probably come up darn near a hundred one shot kills with VLD bullets myself. There are plenty on this site that are in that group you are talking about that are shooting to maximum of 500 yards, but many if not most of them are just starting on their journey to real long range shooting. I fully understand from a marketing standpoint the reason for the appeal to that demographic of shooter/hunter. If you are going to get this crowd interested in your rifles you are going to have to start talking capabilities with heavy for caliber VLD bullets and ranges much longer than 500. IMHO Oh, I forgot to say WELCOME to the site!:) [/QUOTE]
