[QUOTE="nmbarta, post: 1282509, member: 78438"] I think the rules for the forum are perfect. It seems to me that once you have become effective at 1000+ plus, you have the trigger time, reloading, and shooting abilities to make a decent attempt at much farther targets. Breaking through the transonic stage has little to do with anything to me, this is has more to do with a bullets ability to break through it than a shooters capability. When any one factor can result in a miss, (temp, barometric pressure, wind (not just left or right, but elevation as well) spin drift, humidity, sd's, coriolis,etc) your shooting at an extreme range. In my opinion, this starts to take place at 1000 yards regardless of what your shooting. Some cartridges will be affected much sooner, but pretty much all will be affected at 1000. I may be mistaken, but I thought the E stood for extreme, not effective. I have two rifles that are very capable and weigh in at 18 and 24 lbs. With NF and USO scopes, brass, bullets, dies, and powder, I'm into each for about 4500.00. I bought both of them off of this site, and I hunt with both. (338 lapua, pierce action, 29" broughton barrel, xlr chassis, and 375 cheytac lawton action, lawton barrel, mcree chassis) No need to spend 20k or pack a 150 lb rifle. Go-karts don't race with NASCARs. Nothing wrong with racing go-karts, I have quite a few of those as well. [/QUOTE]
