I am not familiar with that round. Any info would be appreciated.
I don’t know how many privately owned .50 caliber rifles there are in Washoe County but I would guess the number run over 100. I personally have seen about 40 of them at one time out at the range on Pyramid Highway.

This is nothing. I don’t know how to paste a link, so just google “long range coyote hunt”. Those boys were taking dogs at 1200 yds with a quickness.
... downrange?
when the government cheats and hacks its people, it turns tables and says the people are racists and cheaters. Thus our situation nowadays with cops and prosecutors too busy dealing with things like “domestic violence” and hate crimes, but crickets when it comes to islamists doing both on women and gays in country.
I am amazed at the cowardice of our justice system. I have very little respect, as a result, for the Serve and Protect big words

I highly recommend the Storm Mountain course on Long Range Rifle: http://www.stormmountain.com/training-division/

A Savage 110 in 30.06 is a long range sniper quality rifle...properly scoped and compensated, it has long range killing power.
Wow, thanks! Basically, it looks like a semester-long university course on the subject. And I say that without even having watched one of the videos in its entirety. Who knows how much “homework” (e.g., range work, practice on the loading bench, building that rifle of your dreams, etc.) and extracurricular reading and research he recommends?
When all is said and done, it could be much more than one semester’s work if the student is diligent about it. But I intend to find out, if for nothing else than to improve my long distance shooting in preparation for that big Alaska hunt I’ve always wanted to go on! Thx.
Thanks! The last one in the list turned out to be Part 6. Here’s part 5.

My favorite long range caliber is 6.5 x 284. My longest antelope kill with it was 970 yards. Fortunately the wind gods were on my side that day. You can have the best velocity, BC and sub MOA rifle but with a varying crosswind it is all for nought.
There are antelope around me, but the wind at this high elevation is always in the form of many whirlwinds of various sizes. At times, a bullet could go through several of them at 400 yards. There’s no way to estimate winds here for long range shots.
Long range shooting is all about the equipment.
It starts with the highest ballistic coefficient bullet you can use.
Consistently burning powders, even measures, bullet cases of the same weight (thickness), match-grade primers, etc.
The rifle must have the right barrel (twist) to stabilize the bullet at the velocities created. The chamber must be right and the bullet must be touching against the lans (rifling).
Wind is an incredible factor. If you ever watch benchrest, they will use multiple wind flags out to 100 yards. All flags must be in the same position for the shot to take place. At just 100 yards, a slight crosswind can move you off-target by 0.1”.
At 1000 yards, wind is near impossible to get consistent. Atmospheric conditions must not change (humidity). A humid wave 400 yards out can drop velocity by a 100 fps easily.
The number of factors is infinite. But, that is what makes it fun and competitive. Of course, there is an element of luck.
6.5 x 284? That’s a long cartridge, almost a foot. Where do you get the brass?
