I all so shoot balloons at 1k with my 260 rem 130grn vld Berger and my 7mm rem sendero 168grn vld Berger. The balloons are about 5 - 6" big around. I believe in lots and lots of practice.

I take my 7mm mag sendero out of state and 260 for back up. My 260 is a 1000 + yrd deer rifle but only a 800yrd elk rifle. I know what it can do. But I would use my 7mm on elk first. The 7mm would be more forgiving at longer range. My 260 has taken deer at over 800yrds in Texas. Even at that range I get good kills. And no they dont walk 500yrds away either. They drop within 50yrds or less. Ive only had 1 that went around 125yrds. I know I can shoot cause I practice on coyotes and hogs all the time. Deer are taller and much easyer to hit at those ranges.

[QUOTE="Stgraves260, post: 508651, member: 19988"] Hay Boss Hoss. I agree with you. Field test is the best thing to do. I shoot 5" balloons at 600yrds with my AR 223. Rain or shin I dont care. I love to shoot long range. Espscialy in bad weather. I all so shoot balloons at 1k with my 260 rem 130grn vld Berger and my 7mm rem sendero 168grn vld Berger.
