[QUOTE="excaliber, post: 1157984, member: 86034"] I've learned allot here and I spend lots of time reading here. This site is pretty awesome. I do have some questions. First of all what do you consider long range? I see some people think long range is 500-600 yards and other think 800-1000+ yards is long range. What is close and what is midrange? I see the greater majority of shooters here use heavy for caliber bullets and like them shooting on the slower side as opposed to faster shooting 20 gr lighter bullets. Are these heavy bullets best used over 600 yards as I've heard the Bergers don't do to well at what I consider normal distances(100-300 yards) I see lots of shots taken at what I think is really long yardage 600+ yards On most of these shots was there no chance to stalk closer or would you rather just shoot at this distance knowing you can make the shot? I'm just curious as I'm a bow hunter who just got my first magnum rifle a while back(300Win Mag) I always try to get as close as possible. This year I had a pefect 400 yard shot at a bull and snuck in to 80 yards and killed him with my rifle. Anyways..............I'm just learning and have my 300 Win Mag at the gunsmith getting the action trued and a new Bartlein #3 5R bbl installed etc. This will be my Elk gun. I'm hoping it will be a great shooter out to 600 yards. thanks in advance [/QUOTE]
