One day I want to shoot 2 miles
Once you catch that virus, you can't stop..Tell you how it happened here.. I am too crippled to shoot, but got the ELR wildcat case bug.
Neighbor, Mitch, gets some 585HE cases, to wildcat. Few months later stops by to get more cases, shows me and our men a big target gun in his 375 lethal Wildcat, with biggest scope I ever saw, tells me he hit targets in practice at 2400 yds. Oh great I said keep me informed and keep getting cases. I thought ,well have good long range deer gun.
Few weeks later, I get email, '' Mr Hubel , I just won the King of 2 Mile Shoot with my gun and cartridge......" And we are smitten with the bug ever since, The words ''2 Mile Shoot"' like magic turned it on.Ed

I know you all can do it with your huge missle Cartridge's but do you think I can reach it with my 300 Remington Ultra Magnum with a 225gr ELD-Match at Max load ? After all isn't it a necked down 404 Jeffrey ? I can pack a lot of Powder in that Case. Any takers out there ?

Put it like this. AB has already did first time hits @ the 3163 With the 300win mag and 215 berger. Otheres have took the 300 to over 3600 yards and hit.
So I would say yes it can be done.

Warner has a 198gr bullet with a b.c of .855???? Could be competitive possibily? Some say you need a 375 to be competitive at KO2M....Bryan Litz took 2nd in 2016 with a 338 Edge and 300gr Berger. Now Warner has a 285gr was it? 338 bullet with a high .9 B.C out of a 338 cheytac improved it would be hard to run with.

Flat line has a 256 and 300 for the .338 They also have a 400 grain .375 with a BC 1.1 something. Out a cheytac imp it could see close to 3300 fps. Hard to hang with that.
Bullet splash is one of the problems with smaller calibers.

Yes it can be done but spotting those impacts is very tough

Indeed. With the right conditions like a dry farm field it can make it a lot better. But as we know these matches are not held on dry farm fields.
