Default RE: 1011 yard shot

I don't either, 700 is a lot different than 1000+. If I had capable rigs and a steady rest with lots of practice I would try a 600 or 700 yard shot. Thats why I asked about your Allen Mag, I think that would be awesome to get proficiant with moderate range shots like that. But I think 700 is about the max, any more and I just think theres too many variables. IMO

Oops, BigCountry posted the same time as me. I can hit 10 inch balloons at 500 with the 7mm Rem Mag. I have shot 800 or so (at a rock), with a .300 Ultra and the bullet dropped about 20 feet. I don't have any spot to shoot a 1000. Like I said, coyotes, squirrels, p-dogs, I think would be awesome to try and hit at that distance. But larger animals I want to have a little more room for error (wind, up drafts, animal gets spooked, etc...) IMO
