[QUOTE="crashlanding, post: 628557, member: 44614"] Time for me to move into something new and different. Bought my first rifle, a Marlin 336 30.30, when I was 12 years old, $75 used. Cut grass all summer long in 1969 to get that rifle, I still have it. I've been into guns and hunting ever since. This last November a friend of mine was working on reloads for a Weatherby Accumark in 30.378 and asked me for some help in range spotting, I agreed to tag along. We have plenty of open country out here, distance is not a factor. Long story short, I was ringing steel at 800 yards when he ran out of ammunition, I'm hooked. I have a lot to learn but I've got the time so Ill just read for awhile before posting so as not to ask repetitive questions. Eventually I'll buy a rifle for extended range purpose, possibly to shoot game with if I ever get that good. My longest shot to date is 318 yards on a bull elk, prairie dogs are a different matter, closer to 400 with them. Looking forward to catching up. Thanks [/QUOTE]
