[QUOTE="scrmblr1982cj8, post: 1151023, member: 69799"] At 1,000 yards, it is basically a mortar shot to hit the target. A 168g .308 drops about 38 feet, while a 7mm (I forget what grain bullet) drops about 25 feet. One can certainly use a .308 effectively at 1,000, but if you are just getting started, I'd go with the flatter shooting caliber. Build confidence and some experience, then start playing with other calibers. I interviewed for a job in Bismarck in 2002. Didn't get hired on but liked the city. [/QUOTE]
