[QUOTE="rost495, post: 58780, member: 1768"] Goodgrouper: Anything is possible at all. You might eat crow, I might, you never know. Hell its better than starving of ignorance right? Heres another thought. I should add that often times I"m neither pro or con on subjects but like to interject how it could be done. Whether it can or not is often yet to be proven. A fence sitter with some input if you will. Anyway there is a sport called mini palma. Folks use 22 LR at 100,150,200 yards. And they shoot some fairly small groups and decent scores. It really makes you work to dope the wind at 200 for a 22lr bullet. It well represents the difficulties encountered in real 1000 yard wind matches. Now I dont' have access to calculate remaining speed, but bet the 22 bullet is also at 600 fps or less. They are not aerodynamic for sure. And they often start between 1000 and 1100 fps only. I should add that I was mentioning my iron sight M1A. Definitely not a super tack driver and iron sights against game are much tougher than against a visible paper target. So even though it was tough for me, things would have been significantly easier (closer??) with a scoped 308 bolt gun off a bipod or backpack. Not saying that would have made the shot for sure though. I'm interested in why your bullet would go so crazy as to blow up at past 1400 yards. The only ones I"ve seen go puff are up at the muzzle. Though I have read of ones disentegrating at between 900 and 1000 as they go subsonic. Just can't recall the reasoning. Took lots of sheets on the ground and testing to confirm. Food for thought.
