[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 1089728, member: 10178"] I don't usually have access to really long range shooting places to fool around with my old war horses. I got to do some shooting a while back at an old strip mine with some buddies. We shot our black powder cartridge rifles and some of our old military rifles. I took my most accurate K31 Swiss with loads consisting of Graf/Prvi case, Fed 210M primer, 45 grs IMR 4064, Nosler custom comp 155 gr bullet, OAL 2.880 and I used a Lee Factory Crimp Die with a medium crimp on this load. It was just plinking around shooting but with open sights I had no problem once I got my sight setting hitting a big rock with a painted 36" circle in the circle at 996 yards prone with a sling. This same rifle and load will keep 20 shots in a 1" X ring at 100 yards from a bench rest with open sights. A group of friends and I started what we call Old Men's military target matches. We shoot off a bench rest at 100 yards with rifles and 50 yards with carbines because most can't get down into those positions any more. We shoot two targets of 10 shot strings for score with stock unaltered rifles except for front sight height to lower the point of impact that most of these rifles need. It is fun and bragging rights are the prize. :D [/QUOTE]
