I'm kinda wondering what the longest successful shot you have ever made on any animal was. My longest shot was a 200 yard deer that I shot through the neck with the second shot. I was using a Remington 700 in 7x57, loaded with 140 grain BTs. The first shot, heaven only knows why I tried it...

SealSniper, I would appreciate an email as well. I do wanna try this, cuz it sounds like fun. He he he, bustin clay pigeons at 200 yards, wee!!!

Thanks SealSniper. I was wondering about the scope as well; I'm not sure about it. I guess the best way to find out before hand is to zero it at 50, then do what those gun writers do. Move it 16 to 24 clicks (2-3 inches) in each direction and shoot a group, then move it back. I guess if...

Well, I don't believe they have target knobs, but 1/4 MOA clicks that are audible as well as visible. I usually put it an inch high at 50 yards, and can screw around with it at 100 yards some, even a bit farther. One day, I was consistently popping balloons at 150 once I got elevation right...

I have read over on the 24 hour campfire how many of you practice with a .22 long rifle to about 400 yards or so as practice for big game. I am wondering what equipment you use, how heavy the rifles are, and what loads you use for that purpose. Also, do you use live targets out at that range...

I figure it would be about the same as a .257 Weatherby with less cost. Any expierence with it? What is it capable of? How far would one of you really expierenced guys take it? I'm kinda curious here. Thanks in advance.

As some of you would already know, 24 hour campfire. I am curious about this, so what better way to learn!
