[QUOTE="jbjn55, post: 644612, member: 47048"] Hey guys... thanks for all of the feedback and questions to help better focus my questions to get the help I'm needing. I call NW Indiana my home for the last 10yrs... I am originally from Chicago. I served 8yrs in the US Marine Corps and that is where I received my firearms training. Now I am not a Marine Sniper, but I am familiar with and own a variety of rifles and handguns. Recently I got a hair to try long range shooting and have been buying gear ever since. I bought, with long range in mind, a DPMS Panther .308/7.62 NATO mounted with a TRijicon AccuPoint 5-20x50 with mil-dot recticle, and the Savage Arms 110ba in .338 Lapua mounted with a Leupold Tactical 6.5-20x50 with a mil-dot recticle. My questions are: 1) Will the scopes I invested in provide adequate range out to 1000 yards? Is there another recommendation that will do better? 2) I am interested in reloading... but there is so much information out there I am not sure what is best or adequate for me, a beginner, to invest in. Any suggestions on reloading equipment? Best place to purchase the equipment and what equipment would be needed? I'm sure I'll have more questions as time goes on... I appreciate any feedback and suggestions. I almost forgot... the longest range I have found near me is 220 yards... not near enough to stretch the legs of either of my rifles. Anyone out there have any suggestions where I might look to find a place to extend my range? Thanks... :D [/QUOTE]
