[QUOTE="matemike, post: 948211, member: 78984"] Thank you for the responses and advice. I dug around and found the range rules: Classes are by appointment on Tuesday mornings, so I'll need to find a time to ever do that. ...interested shooting member must attend a qualification class and demonstrate proficiency to use the ranges of 600 yards or more... ...shooter must demonstrate that he/she can hit an approved target safely, at the respective extended yard line ultimately hitting the berm behind the target... I know I can do that. My hang up is that 300 yards is the longest range I have access to for practicing. What I'm gathering is that this goal can be met if I do my homework. I feel I will be able to study my bullet drop graphs and ballistic charts to make a safe impact at 600 yards. This will not happen tomorrow, please rest easy. BTW here are my LR setups to pick from: Savage .308 Win, 1/10" twist rate. Bushnell Elite 4.5-30X50 with ballistic turrets. I reload 168 gr. Nosler custom competition HPBT bullets Browning 7mm Remington Mag, 1/10" twist rate. Swarovski Z3 2.5-12X50 with quick elevation turret. I reload 168gr. Berger VLD HPBT bullets Weatherby .338-378 Wby, 1/10" twist . Gun came with a Leupold 2.5-8X36 so I'm in the process of glass shopping for it right now. I plan to use 225-250 grain factory ammo to sight in then reload in the future. Which one will be the easiest to avoid looking like the noob who shot 300 yards forever then at 600 gets his *** handed to him by the high power director and/or RSO? I'm leaning towards the 7mm.
