[QUOTE="livetohunt, post: 1385567, member: 100535"] I will put in my 2 cents here because I am also relatively new to long range. Being a lower budget shooter I only have factory rifles. I wasn’t very good at shooting (super flinchy) so trying to stretch my only rifle at the time, a Remington model 700, out to any distance was a joke. So I spent a lot of time on here and to break myself of flinch I bought a super heavy choate stock and put a lot of rounds down range. After a couple months I ditched that stock for an actual usable hunting stock. A years Practice, coupled with learning how to reload and now I have 3 factory rifles of 3 different brands that I can shoot .5 MOA with. I’m currently working on getting a lighter gun setup, which will be about 8.5 lbs. My go to long range hunting gun weighs about 12.5 lbs with sling/bipod/scope. And yes, I count myself extremely lucky that my factory rifles are able to shoot that well. But it’s also extreme attention to detail when I reload and a lot of time behind the guns. I also have a weird barrel break in I do with any gun I get that I use diamond paste that I embed into handloads. I highly recommend just spending a lot of time on here reading posts opinions etc. you will learn a ton! As far as the 180 bergers go, I have a savage long range hunter in 7mm mag that I shoot .5 MOA using the 180 VLD hunting round. Its wicked accurate, but I highly recommend a shoulder shot. I’ve had expansion problems. I’m going to be moving to the ELD-x’s, as are the guys I work with that hunt long range. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
