[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 62269, member: 313"] [b]Re: Good Question How \"long\" is \"long range\"[/b] Many years ago when I started shooting varmints, long range was any shots out past 250yds. Yep, factory guns,factory ammo, small targets, and limited experience made these shots particularely rewarding. Within a few years I was shooting handloads and more accurate factory rifles. What was long range only a few years earlier became average and long range meant shots had to exceed 400yds. Today, with custom built rifles, handloaded match ammo using only the best components, and 20 years of experience, long range has a totally new meaning. Shots that exceed a 1/2 mile [b]were[/b] unthinkable but are now made with some regularity. Every year I look to push the envelope a little farther and the meaning of long range seems to change constantly. So how do we define long range - WE CAN"T [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
