[QUOTE="teds1407, post: 434920, member: 16727"] I have a twelve pound custom made rifle chambered in .338 - .378 Weatherby with a Leupold 8.5 - 25 Long Range scope. It was built on an old .340 Weatherby action that I had with a Kreiger barrel and an H.S. Precision stock. I load my own ammo using Weatherby cases, GM215M primers, 225 grain Nosler Accubond bullets and 109.0 grains of H1000 powder. OAL is 3.840" I get 3180 FPS at the muzzle and can, and often do, shoot a 1 7/8 th inch group at 555 yards. I havent been able to practice shooting farther out yet as our shooting range here in Las Vegas is limited to just 555 yards. They just recently added a new berm at 650 yards and I am working on that one now. I have the rifle zeroed at 300 yards, and it is just 20 clicks up to a 550 yard zero. So far the longest shot I have taken game with was a 425 yard shot on a cow elk near Ely, Nevada. That was just 10 clicks up for a dead on one shot kill. [/QUOTE]
