[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 1803365, member: 12443"] There are lots of ideas, but very few good ones for shooting out to a mile. Especially if you enjoy hitting what your shooting at with any kind of consistency. To put things in a somewhat perspective frame, my old 30x378 with a 36” barrel sent 200 gr SMKs from the muzzle @3500 FPS. Again for perspective, it required 150 1/4 min clicks on the dial to reach 1500 yds. And for 1700 which isn’t a mile, it required 50 more 1/4 min clicks or 200 for the total. And unless it was a pretty decent day, accuracy at either distance was marginal at best shooting from a good bench. My advise would be to go watch them being shot at those distances before deciding which one is suitable for the distances you have in mind. After doing so you will either be lowering your distance expectations or choosing a larger cartridge. [/QUOTE]
