[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 2226006, member: 12443"] Dean, some day we should hook up and make the long trip to our Pa camp. We can shoot out to 1400 from our yard when the leaves come down. I have a friend nearby who owns about 2000 acres that had been a strip mine. He has permanent steel targets out to 2000 yds he shoots at year round. Bring any guns you own, but before you leave, you will find that you will have shot the 300 gr bullets that leave the muzzel at 3000 fps and preferably more than that much better than the others. And if 5 other guys shoot, all 5 will have the same results. The problem here is what each of us consider to be long range. About any cartridge can be made to do pretty well out to even 1000 yds. But for every 100 yds further, a few more of them will be out of it, regardless how fast they leave the muzzel. Hunting guns are only good when you can hit things with them. And very few are good at doing that beyond 1000 yds. [/QUOTE]
