[QUOTE="remingtonman_25_06, post: 96220, member: 1403"] Ian I have been shooting my 300 RUM quite a bit lately at 1150 yards on a steel gong that is 14x14 inches. I am using the 210g VLD at 3000fps. I am practicing for an upcoming tv shoot at 1000 yards. Hopefully the extra 150 yards, and the smaller 14" target will give me some confidence.
