So I went out shooting with a friend of mine yeasterday and he introduced me to the world of long range shooting. He set me up on a 1 gallon milk jug at 1005 yards away. I exploded it first shot. I then proceeded to shoot them at 900, 650 and then the 'easy ones' at 350 and in. I was dumb founded to say the least. I am curious what others are doing for their long range setups. His setup is: Weatherby 30.378 with Zeiss 6.5x20 using the turrets and custom accubond loads.
I plan on doing the same thing unless I can find something that is a little better for all around hunting situations, even if it means having a system that has a max 600-800 yard range. What I mean by all around is: lighter weight gun, closer zoom (6.5 is pretty far for close shots)
For example, I am wondering if a 300 win mag with a 4x16 scope and custom reloads could achieve this?
Any thoughts??
