You have to understand thought that long range to me is 100 yds because I use a .22, not a .308...my bullet is crawling at 100-200 yds, although I know a couple who shot 450 yds with .22s...they ran out of elevation and had to shade high.

In fact, I sold my last .308, and to be honest, I'm kicking myself. The .223 will make it 1000 yards, although, you know, the whole power thing behind the rifles....

A 6.5 mm or .308 will stomp .223 any day at that range. Reason being the wind blows a 55 grain .223 bullet around a lot more than a 142 grain 6.5 mm bullet or a 168 grain .308 bullet. Ever considered Palma shooting with your experience in Long Range HP?

I know what I have shot.... and I suppose it's the ARs my dad has. Regardless, like I said, I suppose since I've been doing it so long that I now find it boring.

Luckily these rifles are also very good at regular long range competition.

Now im not quite sure about a persons right to own hundreds of guns, i personally dont see the need unless its a collector. However the type of gun i believe should be kept to rifles, shotguns, and legal handguns. The law on illegal firearms is ending this year, and ive heard that Kerry plans not to reissue it. Thats a big problem for me. Theres a reason i live in the U.S....if i wanted to go and live over in the middle east where the average home has a couple AK-47's than i would. If what ive heard is true, and Kerry gets ellected, God help our country.
