[QUOTE="MadDawg, post: 1180802, member: 11627"] V- My original statement was the 5.56 cant go past 600. You and dust claim otherwise so shooting 600 isnt the issue. (though with some gusty winds the 5.56 struggles at 600.) V, its not your skill we will test, if you can shoot submoa @ 100 I'll spot for you. out as far as we can go. All the skill you need to the ability to hold a consistent group @ 100. Its my rep on the line eitherway. If you can later shoot out to 7 or 800 with another spotter i look bad. I dont plan on looking bad, not on this one! read the test again, we shoot at first light when the wind is down, trace is great. Thinking you are the one flinging poo as you retrograde. I have max confidence in what i say. I have experience to back it up. I quickly agreed that with special bullets and very well put together rifles the 5.56 can go to 1000, but for a very few select folks. But not the OP's rig. (its not setup for LR just like you claim about yurs) Simple deal, you jumped on a nit and picked away. Neither mature or knowledgeable. Dust- by all means you should contact me, I have access to 1000 yards. I'd suggest the dependance on 'what the computer says' be kept to a minimum. I can tell you this much... IF the extremely mild recoiling 5.56 could do what your calculations say the 5.56 would rule LR. NO ONE shoots LR looking for the extreme recoil. If the VLDs could do so well then 5.56 wouldnt be so scarce in LR F-Class where the rifle can be anything you want as long as it is under the wieght restriction. But there are other factors involved as the myriad of 1-7 rifles out there that cant go to 1000 show. I have learned something from this. In posting I'll make a much better effort to list all exceptions and limitations to my simple statements. I forget some with no experience but have read someplace are waiting to attempt some interwebz knowledge even if they lack the experience. My bad, I'll start being very careful around the interweb experts. If I had just included one more word... YOUR 5.56 cant go past 600 yards therefore... sure opened the door for 2 count em 2 nit pickers to tell us all about what they havent done. But gentlemen the offer still stands, bring the mouse guns, as well as yur 308s. I mean how many times do you get an offer to shoot to 1000 yards? Just leave the nit picking at home, it seems to be best online not in realtime. :D [/QUOTE]
