Honestly its getting hard to hit things at times once you pass 1000, my longest ones have been around 1860 yards, hits that is on targets and having groups at that range. Thats barely over a mile... and it was not with a small round... LOL


I was thinking the vacuum of outer space. If mankind doesn't destroy itself first, someday we will colonize the moon, asteroids, and beyond.

At 5 miles the bullet could still be travelling at the original muzzle velocity, maybe faster, depending on local gravitational fields.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.

A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
