[QUOTE="7070yshot, post: 1957166, member: 114427"] All great responses! The biggest question is really the intended purpose. A hunting rifle you never intend to shoot past 100,200,300,400,500 ? And I’ll go out on a limb and say 500y is probably max for something with SD’s in the 15-30fps range for an ethical kill. If you can shoot a 1in group at 100 that’s a 5in group at 500y. About the size of most DRT kill shots. I’ve watched hundreds of handloading/hunters. 600-700y is where the wheels come off their ammo. If you want to target shoot SD’s of 10 and below are what you need. Thats going to take you past 700y. bullet selection becomes extremely important at this level as well but that’s another post. Good luck sir! [/QUOTE]
