RE: Realistic Range
2700fps is insane, wish I could safely get that out of my Omega...250-300yds would be easy :D
I'm shooting right around 2000fps. |
RE: Realistic Range
Just as eldeguello said.

RE: Realistic Range
The wind is going to be a problem especialy in the winter, it is very seldom calm here in Michigan. I shoot 175gr dead center. 2200 fps. I think a 10 mph crosswind moves the bullet 6". Ithinkideal conditions are the key to max range.

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. |

I would not hesitate to take a shot at 250 yards with my.50 cal. Encore, loaded with 150 grains 777, 240 grain, .44cal Hornady. In two years with it however, there was never a need. I'm confident, under the right conditions, I can make that shot.
There is no question the gun is capable of making that shot. I'm not going to go into the Balllistics/trajectory tables for that gunw/that load because you would say I was full of S#$T, but those of you with the resources, look it up. It is an awesome weapon! Bottom line, and someone just mentioned it a few posts ago, GET CLOSER!! |

Knowing your gun and load can get you out quite a ways, also interesting to note that he was still getting pass thru's at those ranges with the 200gr. SW. |
