[QUOTE="Shawn Carlock, post: 66361, member: 4"] Widowmaker, I would have to agree with Kirby and the other forum posters. The single biggest component for successful LRH is the shooters ability to judge conditions and apply the proper dope. The 6.5 cal stuff is great very hight bc for size but you will learn more with a 308 Win not to mention that it is easy on the pocket book. the 308 drifts about twice as much as a 6.5-284 in the wind. You can learn a ton with a 308 and only 600 yards distance. It takes a serious condition to bother my 338 Edge at that distance. To really work out my Edge I have to seek out some long distances, to practice with my 308 I can have a pretty good workout with only 500 or 600 yards. Good luck and let us know how LR is treating you. [/QUOTE]
