I'm only somewhat qualified to comment, but thats due to competition. 300-600 is considered mid range, and my Long Range High Master classification came early with ONLY 600 yard and 800-1000 yard matches. 300 and under even 500 and under don't count.
I'll stick by the fact that 69s suck at 600. Its a reason the wife bought an M1A after shooting a windy 600 yard match once, that really took her score down low, and she was handed an M14 the next morning with boxes of 168s( THANKS- Alonda and Arch!!!) and shortly thereafter we had another M1A in the vault.
Hey Jeff, which M1A did your wife get?
