[QUOTE="toddc, post: 1257054, member: 4566"] What the heck? I ASSumed from the name that the King of 2 Miles was shooting 2 miles. Turns out its 2500 yds? I have been out of ELR for a bit and ASSumed the king needed to stay supersonic to 2 miles. In my head I thought even a Barret or CT based system would have trouble with that but since I'm really not interested in spending the kind of $$$ a build like that entails, I never really paid attention. Now I see it's being shot competitively with an EDGE. Kinda annoys me since I'm only 8 hrs from there and happen to own an Edge. I hear so much BS on the boards about velocity a load does and how far some shoot certain loads at certain MOA, that I discount about 90% of what I know isn't reasonable. Now the NRA is having their facility used for a KING of 2 MILES that is really LESS than 1.5 miles. Seems like no one in the LR game can keep stuff straight. I didn't go to this last year solely due to knowing my Edge wayyyyyyy past supersonic at 2 miles. Figured CT or Barrett or LARGER based 375s only. SMDH. [/QUOTE]
