RE: Realistic Range
Realistic 150yards, as perfect conditons rarily happen in the field. However if a perfect condition and situation does present itself in the field 200 "ish" is with in my capabilities with a scoped inline.
200 +is doable but certainly not realistic for all Mler's. Current bullet choices are a limiting factor, BC's are poor and don't lend themselves that well for extended range. If you go lighter for a higher BC you lose in drift....+ ='s -. For me adjusting/learning/predicting drift is much tougher then drop. PersonallyI prefer slower and more drop.
