[QUOTE="alcesgigas, post: 1644675, member: 34925"] Great thread/post; enjoy. Focusing on the ethereal two-mile quest and mindful of all the good suggestions regarding cartridges there's two areas that haven't been explored so far in my view. First there's the custom builder as I think there's but one production rifle that is made purposely for the long reach--it's a barrel-swapper too--that's Desert Tech's HTI. There's at least two DT specialists that tune these babies beyond their already standard delivered accuracy. Not sure if Accuracy International gets into the heavies or Amp's DSM-1. I'd just as soon refrain from being more specific due... The other area is logistics and by that I mean if an army runs on its belly these far reaching smoke poles run on barrels, bullets, and brass. Nobody is going to take the ultra--OCD--care in cartridge prep, loading, etc., as you to not-so-simply must be to truly enjoy shooting, taking a coffee break, then listening for the bellow... Top flight scales, a borescope, need I say the best chronograph you can get, select choosing and monitoring propellant (s) as to batch numbers, and the very best TOOLS TO MEASURE your efforts. For me all this is passion, perfection, and, well, sure, poverty threatens too. Then there's extreme patience, attention to detail, perseverance of course and doing one change at-a-time... Just look at all the trouble we struggle to get into! But, I'm sure, that like most others on this site, are all too familiar with these things; just thought to remind and well, all the best in your venture. The challenge never leaves. [/QUOTE]
