What The Pros Use – King of 2 Miles Edition
Earlier this week I traveled to watch the King of 2 Miles rifle competition (Ko2M) at the NRA Whitti...precisionrifleblog.com
1-2 miles is a huge spread. Just say one mile. For that range to 2000 yards, the .338 LM or .338 LM Improved are an excellent choice. Going beyond say...2200 up to 2 miles, jumping into the Cheytac case is the best move (IMO). The .375 is a great 2 mile cartridge. Bullets are phenomenal with great numbers. The extra BC numbers and extra payload gets them across the 3500 yard line very efficiently. I started with the .338 LM Imp and still think it's plenty for out to 2200 yards. Watch the horizon as I think some .338 heavies will be showing up. Berger is long over due with their 329 grain bullet. I think we'll see 350 grain range .338 bullets introduced next year. May need a Snipetac size case to get the most from it but it'll extend the .338 LM range into the 1.5 mile easily.I'm 9 years away from retirement so ido have some time.

I'm going to be about $7,000 in to my 338 RUM. Including optics (low budget for ELR) 338 RUM specific reloading gear, rests and a case.Ok I have 7 grand into my 28 nosler can I get into long range shooting for under 10 grand or will i have to save even more
