[QUOTE="goodgrouper, post: 74131, member: 2852"] Congrats Kirby. Very nicely done. A couple questions and comments if you don't mind. Is that a Montana chuck, and if so, would you say it is an average colored chuck for Montana? [ QUOTE ] scanned the slides for about 10 minutes and found another chuck hunkered up on a large flat rock. The area the chuck was in was not offering an accurate range measurement but knowing the area very well and having a spot in front of the chuck(1088 yards) and behind the chuck(1129 yards) that I could get readings on I figured him to be in the 1114 to 1115 range give or take a yard or so. [/ QUOTE ] When you start getting annoyed with no bounce backs at xtreme range with lasers, then it is time to whip out the Barr and Stroud or Wild optic rangefinders! I say this because I know you're trying for the 1500 yard club, and I know from experience that to get it done, you will need an optic rangefinder for your task. [ QUOTE ] Just not enough frontal area and energy to open the small caliber bullets up to inflict severe tissue damage, at least not with the 107 gr SMK.
