[QUOTE="BrianS, post: 491870, member: 32025"] Trying to cut some corners and hope I can find some help here. I have just gotten my rig, . . . DPMS LR-308L upper 18", 1/10 twist SS barrel CMMG Mk III Lower, Geissele DMR two stage trigger DPMS LPK Magpul PRS stock Magpul MOE grip NightForce 3.5-15X50 NXS NP-R1 reticle GG&G Accucam QD mount Burris Fastfire II MRD GG&G B-Comp MRD mount Harris S-LM Bipod Leg Notch Sling Swivel 9-13 inch Blue Force/Vickers two point padded sling DPMS carbon fibre fore grip Weight 11.7 lbs. configured as above, but still a soft shooter. I know you don't need all that information but I can't help showing off a little. :rolleyes: [B]To make a long story short is there a general rule if I should use heaver weight bullets or lighter weight bullets with a shorter barrel for longer distances? [/B] I'm guessing this rig will serve equally for some Long Range target shooting, multigun and as a coyote/pig killer although I've done very little of any so far. Most long range target will be 600-800 yds and the others will vary greatly I suspect. So just for the long range 600-800 yd shot what should I go with first, heavy or light bullets? I decided on the LR-308L and 18in. hoping the barrel will be stiff enough for accuracy and to keep weight down.
