[QUOTE="CaptnC, post: 1600761, member: 101755"] IMO...from my experience (limited experience, but shoot regularly out to 600yds) I think it could be done under the right circumstance. But first I would confirm that the scope has repeatable turrets. If that is GTG... Second I would run my load my over a reliable chronograph two maybe three different days in hunting weather/temps to confirm velocities. I use JBM Ballistic Calculator out to 600yds with several different calibers and it has been good enough to dial up a shot to hit 8" steel at that range. Of course I'm telling you all this after my days shooting at 600yds. But it really just confirms what I'm saying. I screwed a new barrel on 6.5X284 two weeks ago. Did a 25 shot break in with some loads I had for the previous barrel. I logged the velocities on most of those and the "test" loads that the data I grabbed out of thin air. It was within 20 fps of my dope card to I went with that to dial up two shots. One at 400yds and one at 600yds. Both shots at two different steel plates...see attached photos! I think you could kill just about any thing at those two yardages...[ATTACH=full]127413[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]127414[/ATTACH] That's off a bipod and one small bag... [/QUOTE]
