[QUOTE="dok7mm, post: 1524760, member: 90080"] Interesting question. There seems to be about 3 groups here, more or less. 1. Guys that are new virgins to long range shooting. Many are new to reloading and others shoot only factory ammo. Some are serious about doing everything right to extend their effective range, others are anxious to kill animals @ 1000. 2. This would be the largest group. Nearly all are longtime hunters and reloaders. Equipment can range from straight out of the box and semi-customs, up to full custom top of the line rifles & scopes built for long range. Half of these guys spend all their time reloading, shooting, practicing and hunting. Many will be capable to shoot to 1000 yds, but don't hunt past 6-800 yds. The other half don't have the time or money to dedicate to shooting 24/7. They may have the same capabilities and equipment to shoot long-range, but don't go looking for a long shot on purpose. 3. This is the smallest percentage of people. They have the same equipment as part of #2, but dedicate much more time to practice and wind reading. They tend to shoot the really large calibers and the heaviest high BC bullets. They go looking for long range situations. That's all I know about these guys because I'm not one of them. I'm more of a 4-600 yd guy, but that's my choice. [/QUOTE]
