You’re welcome. I sort of had to chuckle because long distance shooting is very popular with the black powder crowd, much more so than with the modern powder guys.
I think I read the other day that in Wyoming there is an annual one mile shoot. I would love try it with my .45-70.
I will be shooting at 1,000 yards this year but I am spending a good deal of time making adjustments to the bullets I pour to make them nearly perfect for the specific rifle that I shoot. It takes a bit of time, lead and powder.
I have also thought it would be a blast to shoot long range. I’ve seldom shot at things farther than fifty yards away.
BTW: Good luck in your 1000 yard competition. Let me know how you do. I’m sure it will be months away.
