[QUOTE="Jeff Heeg osoh, post: 2986450, member: 111250"] Not as familiar with the DCM I know the guys across the pond have used them. In all honesty I know a lot of the folks shooting distance are very content with floating in the 3000 to 3100 fps area and focus on accuracy versus speed. You will find out that throat erosion and wear will be a lot better when staying in that zone in which adds life to the barrel as well as your forgiveness in having to do load development all the time thus saving a lot of money and time and enjoying the fact you can shoot a lot more and staying in the zone versus having to constantly be retuning your load. Excellent rounds to consider for reaching out that can play the game of ELR and hold their own well are. - 2 mile and beyond stuff the standard 375 Cheytac - easy to obtain components and preforms well. 416 Vestel - excellent round 416 Warner - excellent round some folks are using the 458s as well. 1 mile stuff and beyond 300 Norma Mag 33 XC Run as heavy of a Bullet/grains as you can and focus on the 3000 to 3100 fps zone and you should be golden. Also seriously look at what is very commonly used in the ELR world - with so many shooting you get to see the big picture on what really works and is forgiving. I’m pushing the 550 grain bullets at an easy 3040 fps that is very easy on my brass and primer pockets. 416 Warner The heavier bullets will give you a better report when they hit steel or hit the dirt around the target allowing you to correct your hold fast for a follow up shot, this is why folks have transitioned to the 416 cal over the 375s some. At that distance seeing corrections is a value. Osoh [/QUOTE]
