[QUOTE="6.5shaggy, post: 797314, member: 13311"] I'm going to step out on a limb here, and probably on some toes as well. I've been shooting long range for over 10 years and have gone through 6 different rifles, used all different kinds of bullets, brass, powder, etc. I use what I use for the reasons I use them. I am still learning, just as all of us who take this sport seriously can attest to. I am not going to praise or blame manufacturers for doing what they do, sell products. I think the point may be that the TV shows are doing the same thing, sell themselves; but, I think the current gun crazy crowd has become the focus group and left us old salts thinking "***?". All these TV shows try to tell you if you watch every week and visit their sponsors, you will be able clear rooms like a SEAL, take out 3 armed men in a dark alley with a pocket knife, and drop an elk or grizzly bear at 1000 yards with a single shot every time. And too many people believe it's that simple. No practice, no preperation, just do exactly as they say and TADA... SUCCESS. If this philosophy were true, after 30 minutes of the Military channel, I could launch cruise missiles. Hell, watching porn will not make you a porn star. [/QUOTE]
