Maybe for out west, 300 might be doable for most folks, but here in the east, 99% of "hunters" can't probably hit anything past a 100 yds,. Shots here run under a 100 most of the time, and unless in a state with power lines to watch, not going to get shots much past that. I did shoot stuff in Africa out to 300 yds, but not here in the US. I'd also venture to say, MOST hunters would have no idea how to adjust their scope to "come up" etc for a longer range. I don't really feel it's ethical to shoot 400 yds at something like an Elk/deer, unless using a rifle/cartridge combo up to that range. One of the ammo companies did studies that show that the 06, for instance, drops below 1900fps at 500 yds, so not really going to make the bullets expand right.

No thang to keep a "lowly" Skinner above 1900fps to the 650yd line ala '06. Hint.

A "lowly" 7-08 will keep a 180 at 1900fps impact,to the 725yd line. Hint.

Bullets matter wayyyyyyyyyyy more than headstamps.

Hint....................

Seriously ??? 400 yards is too far to shoot at big game animals.......i.e. big targets ???

I'm from the East, too. 250+ on groundhogs is rimfire work. Headshots to 450 are for the centerfires.

If 400 is too far to rib-shoot a deer, something's wrong ..........

Curiosity on my part, but what is the longest shot you fellas have made without use of sights? Peestol, rifle, scattergun?

1,000 yards. My sight-less rifle shoots MOA, if I do my part and fling the right pills. It's just how I roll.

Same here, smokepole. What's wrong with these folks using sights anyway?

Well, there is that.

Longest scattergun shot for me was back in the middle of the last century, a buzzard plinked out of a tree at about 125 yds with a Forster slug/12 ga. Dad was impressed. Front beads are skookum. I din't know it was hard to do that.

Plinked a couple dinks in a .50 pit right around 1,000 meters one day. Fella doesn't need much in the way of sights for a minigun, though some experience helps. We didn't install the sights in the OH6 due to lack of room.

So, does any of that qualify as long range?

It depends. Did you make a cool video, with loud but suspenseful music?

Only in my memory. I used the sound track from an album by the Surfaris, the ditty named "Wipe Out!" to be specific.

A K14 Klienguenther 7 Rem Mag waiting for bases and rings. I figured I might as well shoot it since I had it. I was pleasantly surprised at how accurate I could be with
instinct shooting.

Years ago a cousin wanted to learn about handgun shooting. Showed up at the range with a GP100. Did fair on the 10 yard line, little bit of a wuss with the noise and recoil, so after a bit I interrupted after reloading and said "Get your sight picture, make a note about how it feels, close your eyes and shoot. I could cover 6 holes with my palm.

Dat's a lot of barrels and scopes. Use a smaller hammer?

The first three barrels were hotrod 7mms. The last one is a .375-.416 Rem Mag and is still as accurate as it was thirty-five years ago.
The first scope was a Burris and lasted through the three 7mm barrels. Within ten shots with the 300 grainers it was rattling like a baby rattle.
I installed a Bushnell that worked until a friend fell with it a literally broke the scope. I installed a Tasco which lasted until a friend got hit by
it. I replaced it with another Bushnell. Then recently I decided to put a larger scope on it: Bushnell 6500 4 1/2-30X50. I can read the print
on a target 100 yards away!
