[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 2121209, member: 38048"] I tell everyone who ask this similar question the same thing. Find a good club near you and find a mentor. Any club that holds long range matches will be where you want to be. These people are great at helping newbies get into long range. They are some of the nicest people you will come across in all of shooting. It’s great to be on the forum’s and this is one of the best but to learn from someone in person is so much better at first. They can actually see you shoot and help correct mistakes and help with setup and learning dial ups and dope cards. Sounds like you have friends that help you already as your rifles are shooting great. Just need to get the long range aspect of it now. Shooting steel is very addictive and you need to be ready to feed that addiction once you get going. Good luck and have fun. Don’t worry about building the new rifle just yet the guns you have now will do 1000 yards no problem. Some 140 class bullets in that 264 will ring steel way out there. And your 257 Roy is my favorite all time deer hunting cartridge. Once you get going and see what is working for you then build that dream rig. Looking at what you already have maybe a nice 7mm with an 8 twist to shoot heavies way out there. Welcome to the site and the world of long range. shep [/QUOTE]
