[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 70917, member: 10"] Troutslayer, Welcome to LRH. You have a good set up to start long range shooting. I would agree that your long range performance will greatly improve if you learn how to load your own quality ammo. There is the initial set up cost but once you have the equipment you will be able to load higher quality ammo for much less money. They are pretty proud of that factory ammo these days. IF you put the time into range practice and learn the basics of ballistics and long range shooting, it will suprise you what can be accomplished at long range. One bit of advice I would offer, always be honest with yourself concerning your capabilities and also be realistic about your goals. Realize that every 100 yards you tack on to your shooting distance past 300 yards increases the difficulty of the shot 5x and past 800 yards I would say 10x. Be patient, practice alot but practice with a purpose. Take shooting notes at the range so you can review them later. Long range shooting can be as rewarding as anything out there so have fun and do alot of reading on this site. There is much to learn and I have yet to find anyone not willing to offer any experience they have to offer. Again, welcome. Where do you call home? Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
