[QUOTE="Keith1, post: 428322, member: 26846"] Today I was out for my daily walk and was carrying my Model 700 that has a 24 inch 270 barrel on it now. I know where a rock is that I had been thinking of taking a shot at but didn't know the range. Today I also took my Leica range finder along for a solution. After arriving at the firing place I determined that the rock was 789 yards distant across a breezy valley. My load was a 130 Nosler BT sitting on top of 60 grains of RL22 which produces 3134 FPS from said rifle. The rifle was zeroded for a max point blank range of 326 yards. The solution said up 52 clicks so that was applied, the sling adjusted and a prone position was assumed. I fired at this rock and also 2 other closer ones at 313 and 604 yards. The distant rock is about the size and approximate shape of a mans torso from the belt up. The bullet hit about mid way up in elevation but was to the left side because of the slight breeze. I was astounded to say the least. I think that the 270 is a fine long range rifle and our modern bullets and range finders make it even better. And yes I hit the other 2 rocks also.
