[QUOTE="AJ Peacock, post: 176582, member: 4885"] I'm sure this has been discussed before, however, a discussion I had a couple days ago got me thinking. <divergence> I was in Boston and asked someone how far something was from Boston. They answered about an hour, I realized that they answered a distance question with a time. <back to the post> Maybe LONG RANGE should be defined as how LONG it takes a bullet to go down RANGE to its target? I've thought about this, and it seems that for the firearms I shoot, LONG RANGE is any target that is a second or more downrange. This seems reasonable, as the load I shoot in my 7mm Rem Mag can go around 750yds in a second (seems like Long Range). The load I shoot in my 338AM can go a bit over 900yds in the first second. And a little 22LR goes 200-250yds in the first second (250yds seems like Long Range for a 22LR). What do you all think? Maybe 3/4 of a second is Long Range? AJ [/QUOTE]
