[QUOTE="ricka0, post: 62324, member: 3086"] [b]Re: How \"long\" is \"long range\"[/b] Really hostile responses to a good question - and plenty of invalid reasons you can't answer it. Contrary to what Varmint hunter states - gun/ammo technology moves at a snails pace - we can update a web site daily - even computers with lightning changes take 2 generations ( 2 to 3 years) to become obsolete. [ QUOTE ] standing offhand kill at 35 yards with my flintlock [/ QUOTE ] absurd in the context of this forum - modern firearms and typically custom or semi-custom guns. [ QUOTE ] Sort of like asking if someone is tall [/ QUOTE ] Actually that's trivial to quantify and there is accurate published data on that. I wish [b][i]long range [/i][/b][i][/i] was as easy to define. Since this forum doesn't seem up to it I'll take a whack on my site. I'll make reasonable assumptions. Thanks for posting those links Dave - there is good starting points. I like the 95% one shot kill idea. Another could be based on your longest kill and your typical bench shooting. Crow_mag shooting a mule deer at 1850m is beyond belief (but I believe him) -- insane ultra long range for me.
