[QUOTE="JC Hedj, post: 716914, member: 32927"] In trying to reach game and targets out to long ranges a lot of shooters have been led by the nose to more power , bigger bullets , hot loads etc etc etc. by manufacturers and unskilled shooters. 4 items compose a great 1000 yd long range rifle/shooter 1) Physical condition of he rifleman ( shooter ) 2) Excellnet/good condition rifle 3) Optics with a 20 moa one piece mounting base 4) Ammuntion that can travel at least 2600 fps and Mach 1.2 at 1000 yds Shooters preference for recoil. I chose the 7mm 08 because I can load ammunition from the 270 cal up to the .308 ( 175 gr ) range. The proof of my endeavors : part 1 ( 162 gr AMAX ) part 2 ( 139 gr hunting bullets ) out ot 1,000 yds. this particular Remington 700 Varminter brought down a west Texas antelope at 725 yds with a 139 gr SST bullet.
