[QUOTE="jmden, post: 324536, member: 1742"] That was 1600 fps lowest speed to get some expansion on the 300SMK. That's the number Carlock mentioned in his first DVD: Longrange Hunting. That's an minimum, I would think, from what I've heard. Just another note--the rigs that are shooting out that far that I've seen are certainly not switch barrel guns. I doubt you'd be able to get the very high degree of accuracy and repeatability out of the switch barrel idea necessary to accurately and consistently place shots at one mile, let alone with enough ummpphh left to cleanly kill an elk. I recently bought 100 Lap cases from a tactical supply place on sale for $175. IMHO, you really need to be looking at a 408 Chey Tac case based round and the money needed to support that may make a Lap based case look cheap. I'd email Carlock or Kirby and ask him about shooting out to a mile. That's getting into a very high priced, huge time investment scenario to be albe to do so cleanly. Good luck. Makes us all think a bit more about what it takes to do that, however. Never a bad thing. [/QUOTE]
