[QUOTE="30mm Vulcan Cannon, post: 1185186, member: 95521"] From reading on here I see that the 375/416 is considered the hottest, I wonder how it performs at extreme distances (2800 yards and beyond) I don't have a much experience, but that will change when I finally get out of school. I currently shoot 338 Lapua mag and a m107 .50, but there is not a single 1000 yard range nearby. This past summer, we were on our annual family vacation on a ranch in Laredo and set up a target on plywood at 1019 yards. We sat on top of a porch where we could see the target and set up with the 338. I never hit the **** thing because we weren't sure where to adjust (with there being so much brush around, we couldn't tell if the bullet was hitting high, low, or elsewhere). And we had 2 people in a mule down the road away from the target watching for a splash. Saw nothing. We are able to shoot at 500 yards though with the target positioned on the main road. Did it with the 338 and 7mm 08. I love long distance shooting and if there's anything in the shooting world I want to be good at, it's long range shooting. I also am fascinated with researching cartridges and seeing what new cartridge out there is pushing the limits. Which is why I was hellbent on finding out if the 375 AM was the best out there. I also like to collect guns, mainly WW2 era, but I would like to have about several long range rifles (a mix of custom and factory) along with several African hunting rifles (mostly big bore double barrel and bolt action rifles). I am also fascinated with the gigantic dangerous game rounds offered, and like I said above, would like to own at least several rifles like it. And when I say big I mean 500 nitro express and up. And yes I believe I have come to the right place. I don't mean to troll when I ask questions on here. I ask a lot of questions because I am always wanting to learn. Next on my wish list is a .375 AM or a 8mm vampire OR .300 werewolf (cartridges with neat names that deliver a massive punch). And I'm ok with the wait on Allen's rifles, I know he does fabulous work. That's one thing missing out of my collection is a custom rifle. My uncle, cousin, and grandfather all have custom .300s and my aunt will soon be getting a custom .280 ackley improved. I have been shooting all my life FWIW (I'm only 22, so that may not be saying much) My goals are to be able to shoot at distances of 2000+ yards. That is a long term goal though. Short term, I want to be able to put together a nice grouping at 1000 yards. But again it's difficult because there is no place near me that has even a 1000 yard range and being in school almost all the time doesn't help (as an accounting major, it is very demanding) [/QUOTE]
