[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 1983139, member: 30671"] I don't know what long range means to you, like yobuck I think 600 yards is a good limit for the .30-06 in my safe. Carlos had a system, that the .30-06, .50 BMG or .308 was just a part of. Factory ammo is very good these days, but still lacks the consistency I require for stretching the distance. Basic kit requires a good chronograph verifying ammo works within pre-determined parameters, and range finder to verify exactly what distance we're working at. With those 2 things 600 yards is approachable, if not cut that in half at best 300 yards would be my limit. Other items will be needed for success, but as a start those will get you started. Good custom ammo is available shift your rifle to one of the custom load outfits such as Hammer, or the others around the site. I leave in the morning, the year has sucked in terms of preparation for me, I've dialed my expectations down a bunch. For this season it's time to run what you brung, within whatever your current system offers. If you want to increase your systems range limits, next year starts now, for this season enjoy what you have. [/QUOTE]
