[QUOTE="AKBman, post: 893187, member: 898"] Thanks for the replies. I will be working on glass with the higher top end, and I know I need a new range finder, mine barely makes 500 yards on a good reflective surface. I have shot a hundred rounds loaded with the 208 AMax bullets, and they do slip through much better than the 180s, and most of the 200s, I will be trying some 210s soon. I am also going to give AA MagPro a try, just finding powder is difficult, I have a pound and a half of RL 22 left, want to try some Ramshot Magnum if I can find some. Someone mentioned the shot distances around here, they can range from lucky to see 50 yards in the thick timber of the Sacramento Mts, to impossibly long shots across canyons. Oryx hunting I was never able to get closer than 700+ yards due to the terrain, real kick in the gut to watch that many animals, know I couldn't get close enough to shoot one, hence my quest. Next will be seeing if I can get the 375 Ruger to shoot out to 500 yards, I think the right bullet should make it very doable. [/QUOTE]
