[QUOTE="Deleted member 46119, post: 1038991"] I'm not being critical just trying to understand you expectations. For me 800 yards is not extreme. It's where long starts. Extreme for me starts at 1200. So.. Is 800 a regular distance you can practice at and extreme comes as it can? How far? As far as I can determine, a Hornady 750 grain 50BMG A-Max will be very hard on anything it hits at super-sonic speeds. My JMB estimate puts over 2000 lb energy at the transition barrier. I have a design that fit a Mark V action and with a 36" barrel, a nominal velocity of 2250fps, the projectile will leave the gun with ~8500 lb energy, remain super-sonic past 1 mile. That will probably exceed your parameters. Another design that will go 2350fps and make 2000 yards. There are other accurate bullets besides the A-Max but as I understand it, it is the benchmark for 50 cal long range. [/QUOTE]
