[QUOTE="jb1000br, post: 80724, member: 1459"] I feel the same as Kirby i think -- to have any consistency past 2000yds and energy to boot, you need a minumum of 338/408 if not a straight 408 or 408Imp. to really excel at 3k i would be using a 408 personally. O, and to answer your Q: "How long ago did scoped 1000 yard shooting events really come about. Are they starting to get passé? What with 10 shots into 5" and less! " about 1967 the Williamsport 1KBR Club was formed, then it didnt really catch on further till 1992 i dont believe. passe...hell no, 10 shots in 5" does NOT happen too many times in one year. My guess is the average for williamsport which has the most shooters of any club will be about 1 dozen groups under 5" heavy AND light gun -- both 10-shots -- that is 0.5% or less of the total groups fired counting shootoffs. YMMV, JB [/QUOTE]
