[QUOTE="RMulhern, post: 432312, member: 999"] Brent Anywhere from 200 to 300 yards depending upon the caliber and load being fired but don't make the mistake of thinking that these heavy all-lead cast bullets we shoot lose stability once entering the transonic stage because they don't! When looking at bullet holes in waxed cardboard target backing fired from 1000 yards the bullets enter point on and are quite accurate! Not unusual for some of the Creedmoor shooters to put 60% of their shots into the 20" diameter ten ring at this distance with maybe just 4 shots out into the 9 ring. Once a 720 gr. lead bullet is put into flight.....maybe not started fast at all compared to other 'whizzbangs' but the bullet just goes, and goes, and goes! Doesn't lose much of it's initial velocity compared to smokeless powder and jacketed bullets. Here's a 10 shot group I fired a while back from 1000 yds. with a 50 2 1/2 cartridge using a 720 gr. elliptical bullet. The vertical on this group is right around 10" or so and this rifle is very accurate.
