Default RE: Realistic Range

ORIGINAL: skeeter 7MM

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.
Me too, that is why I like the 300g, more down range energy and they shoot thru. I agree 150 is realistic for most everyone. 200 is possible, and further is just a long long way. Chap Gleason
