[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2360533, member: 116181"] I don't mean just for varminting, I mean true long range, 1000 yards+. The owner of a range here has a video on youtube of him making one mile cold bore shots with a 223 Rem AI. As ELR takes off what used to be considered long ranges are getting shorter and shorter, right now we're already at the point where a range that only goes out to 500 yards or less is quickly becoming useless for the caliber options we have. An increase in small bore and rimfire is logical to keep older ranges useful because the space required for ELR (and even for F-Class) is hard to come by in a lot of places. Nothing will ever replace actually shooting at distance, but taking a 22LR to 300 or a 223 to 600+ is more readily available and a lot cheaper than taking .338+ calibers out to 2000+ yards. [/QUOTE]
