#2 Bullet sort/prep

Lots of different ways to frame a house, stroke a motor, chamber a barrel, and make match grade ammo.......The standard lies somewhere near the middle of each process!

depends on what u think long range is.any range beyond a weapons pbr + a few yards requires a qualified shooter. accuracy can be tailored to any weapon. all of mine shoot under .500 at 100 yards.long range also is governed by terminal ballistics ,and game size.

Yep, then when you can hit a 2" diameter plate at 400 yards, you know you are golden...

long range reloading
how many full turns 1-8/1-91/2 1-10 -1-11
reload the round to the barrel length, lands and grooves are they cut or done with a button and how many passes
weight of slug, grains of powder, bolt action neck size only and set slug so it engages the rifleing first and the case slides over
have the powder burn end at the time the back of slug is out of barrel
each style and weight of bullet acts different at distance shot

You should make a really dumb, incoherent post on a sticky...

I believe that if you have a rifle that will shoot 1/2" moa off bags at 100 yds it will also shoot 1/2" moa at 1000 yds. The question is can you!
