[QUOTE="nddodd, post: 727100, member: 4717"] +1 what he said, in all seriousness it is very much like this. In order to be proficient at any range you need to shoot, shoot, shoot and shoot some more. It is like anything else you want to be good at you have to practice alot. Its getting more and more expensive too. The first thing i did when i got into this sport was buy my reloading components, dies, scales, press, powder, primers, bullets, and a couple of reloading manuals. Find a bullet you want to try and load some cases. I started at 200 yards and didnt leave tell i felt extremely comfortable in my ability, trigger control, cheek weld, and consistent grip of the gun. Dont get to excited about groups at 100 yards either ive seen guns shoot a ragid hole at 100 then be embarrasing at 200. Main thing is good optics, you have to know when you dial up, down, left, or right its goin to do what you want it too. I absolutely love shooting, theres nothing else id rather do, its a very addictive sport. There are a ton of people on here who will help you, if i knew any loads for your caliber id help you there but ive never owned one. Im sure someone will come on here thatll help you in that department. Nathan [/QUOTE]
