Re: long range with a LR how far have you push them
Interesting LR stories. Couple years ag i was out hunting coyotes with a buddy's kids. 1 of them brought along his little Mossberg 22. The kid had a 3-9X Simmons on top,and while we were walking I asked him if i could take a look at it. The reticle was a std. plex design, that looked like it oughtta' subtend close to maybe 6" to the lower post. I'd already started this kid into long-range, so i told him that if he turned the X down to 3 the lower post tip just might give him 18 MOA to the lower post, and with a 50 yd. sight-in it might just get him to 300 yds. or so. On the way back to the truck we passed thru a pr. dog town, and we decided to give it a try. I lasered a couple pr. dogs at 295 yds. and the kid gets set up off his Harris bipod, and shoots. The 1st round hit very close to the dog, so he makes an adjustment and shoots again. This time he flipped the dog bakwards off the mound. Couple seconds later he nailed another 1 off that same mound. Walked over and sure enuf those 2 dogs were laying behind the mound dead. I'll never forget that story really since it was so neat.
