[QUOTE="quigley257, post: 3060250, member: 84442"] I agree. 1K is entirely doable with heavies with a 223. With the right load and rifle, you can keep the 88 ELD-M supersonic out to 1000 yards. As far as challenging yourself, I say go for it! No reason you shouldn't. You miss 100% of the shots you don't take. Putting rounds on steel at 1K is very gratifying. Nothing more fun than taking new shooters out, teaching the basics of breaking a shot cleanly, then going hands-on and letting them make the shot successfully. We took some young gals and guys out a few years back, some of whom had never shot before. We had them hitting the 12x18 steel every shot with my 223 Encore pistol at 547 yards, then broke out the 243 and 6.5 CM rifles and every one of them hit the 18x24 steel at 1027 yards on their first or second shot with multiple follow-up impacts. They had a blast. No reason you shouldn't too. [/QUOTE]
