[QUOTE="ChuckBlaster, post: 519149, member: 34922"] Well, I just started getting into the long range game this year and haven't killed anything with my centerfires worth mentioning yet:rolleyes: Have hit 2 gallon water jugs out to 900 yards on a calm day with my 6mm shooting 105 A-Maxes with great results, but that's it. I do however have many long range shots with a .22lr if that counts:D Best shot so far was a buzzard at 246 yards with my Marlin 880SQ topped with a Nitrex 3-15X42 inside of some Burris Signatures with 30MOA worth in them. Was using CCI 40 grain sub-sonics and dialed in 33MOA for the near 90 inches of drop. Held about 15 inches to the right for wind and let one fly. Hit on the first shot. The bird flew directly towards me and appeared as though it was looking straight through my scope and into my eye! It made it about 80 yards and then dropped to the ground like a rag doll.
