[QUOTE="Gone Ballistic, post: 1840449, member: 26477"] You are not going to be able to get what you want with a 1-10 twist rate shooting 500 yards. Take a look at the ballistics tables with the highest BC 90 grain bullet available. Just won't get you much over 350 yards. Your twist rate is not enough to stabilize bullets beyond 90 grains however you might be able to shoot a 100 grain Sierra as I have a friend that shoots them out of his 1-10 24" barrel. 243. If you are really set on shooting that far with this rifle, practice shooting at a 500 yard cardboard target to see if your bullets are punching straight holes without any signs of tumbling. [/QUOTE]
