I'm always interested in talking to other veterans.People need to understand that ther IS a BIG difference in the military sniper, the police sniper and the long range hunter.Most SWAT officers never take a real world shot over 80yds.A Canadian military holds the new record combat shot at over 2300meters!It seems that the longrange hunter relies more on ballistics than anybody.We use the muscle memory,long hours of training and tactics more than bullet selection,powders,C.O.L.etc. You will rarely find a SWAT man that shoots a big magnum because of over penetration were as we need the most penetration possible.Basicaly, anyone wanting to be a better longrange hunter would be better off asking one of the many skilled hunters on this web site than asking a military sniper.I have posted several questions here because I am not a longrange hunter.My rifles are furnished .I cant adjust my loads or my tigger on my Sniper Weapons System.Long range hunters have sooo many options it just cant compare.
