[QUOTE="remingtonman_25_06, post: 102043, member: 1403"] Not that my age really means anything, but I like to say I am quite competent in the calibers and what there perforamnce levels are. I have spent I dont know how many countless hours on this site. this is by far the best place for information. Those so called experts that write, crack me up really. I think there are plenty people on this board that could do what they do. I think they try to sell more general stuff to the general public because if you think about it, thats where 90% of the stuff is marketed. Us long range shooters make up only a small percentage of shooters. We know what it takes to shoot long range and the equipment and the know how to use it. They dont really advocate shooting past 300 yards in any magazine I read and it still cracks me up to this day. When I start going into ballistics and what not, and talking about long range and making even a 500-600 yard shot, people look at me like I'm retarded, I think most of it has to do with my age, or maybe that they think I'm talking in a foreign language. Whatever it may be, us long range shooters truly are different breed, even after all the years spent on this site, and shooting and looking at ballistic table, all the rambling i've done to my dad, he still only shoots out to 400 yards or so and is still hazey on all the technical stuff and ballistics, and he has to listen to it from me every day! Sometimes I feel sorry for the poor old guy, ha ha. I'm with you fifty, these expert gun writers really need to get with the program. Actually though, I have read some articles by Ian McMurchy.
