[QUOTE="Master Carper, post: 2345406, member: 15527"] Preacherman - wind is not a problem and is something that can be allowed for and adjusted into the scope. It's mirage that gives me fits! Mitch Rapp - if this is something you really have a desire for, I hope you do get the opportunity to start making those long shots but, beware, long-range shooting can be quite addictive. I have set up for just over 20 years now, to shoot "1" deer a year that it 600 yds. or further away. My furthest witnesses shot was at 1,380 yds., the second furthest was at 1,243 yds. and then 1,118 yds.... I use cartridges that are on the "small" side for this type of shooting, like the 7mm STW, 300 Weatherby Magnum, 6.5X300 Weatherby, etc.. I have also use my 300 Jr., which is what I used to take the two furthest deer. The 280 Ackley Improved and my favorite 6mm, the 6mm-284, has also accounted for more that its share of deer out past the 600 yd. mark... If I can offer any advice or help, in helping you get to those longer distances, I'll do what I can to help you get there. I'm not a target shooter in the true sence but, I do try to perfect my shooting and I'm willing to help others when and where I can.... [/QUOTE]
