[QUOTE="eshell, post: 236936, member: 5747"] With the right ammo, it does well on targets to 1,000 yards. The 155 Scenar is a decent target bullet if your rifle is throated for it, and it can be driven to nearly 3,000 fps in a .308. With a BC comparable to a 175 SMK, it shoots flatter and with less wind drift than my .260. I have a 20" Remington LTR in .308 that shoots FGMM 168 grain ammo into 1/2 MOA, and FGMM 175s to about 3/4 MOA. I just started shooting some of the M118LR from American Ballistics, which is a 175 BTHP at 2,600 (24-26" barrel) and that shoots to 3/4 MOA as well. I was slamming a 4" popper at 600 yards with it yesterday at Reade Range in PA. I have a 26" Remington Varmint Special that doesn't shoot quite as well up close, but is easier to shoot longer ranges with, due to less drop and more barrel mass. I dial on 44 MOA to get to 1k with the LTR, and wind is hard on it, but I only need about 38 MOA with the same ammo in the 26" gun. I've used Nosler 165 BTs to hunt with the LTR, but typical whitetail rifle distances here are usually measured in "feet", vs "yards", and rifle/caliber choice isn't very critical. [/QUOTE]
