Search the forum for "500 yards" and you'll see a thread describing that experience. Long story short, first half-hearted try was an 8-inch group (4 shots), I can do better when I put more effort into it. My setup only has elevation to get to 550 yds without holdover. Plenty further than I need to shoot deer.


I am currently acquiring the pieces to build a smokeless ML and shoot sabotless or push the 200SW to 2700-2800 fps but the .458 will be too big, I'll be stuck with the .450-.452 bullets.
