[QUOTE="ajkellerusmc, post: 2405625, member: 108702"] Like yourself I shot that M16A1 out to 500 yards in the Uncle Sams Motorcycle Club and was hooked, We also studied about Marines in WW1 using open sights to whack Germans out to 800! After I got out I moved to AZ and with wide open things here and a Model 70 winchester with handloads I was soon hitting a paper plate at 500 yards with ease. (yes we used paper plates in those days!) I always made long shots with that rifle on game that impressed my pal's while they missed at ranges under 100 yards. My Encore muzzeloader can even hold 6" at 300 yards if I do everything right. Since joining the forum and finding out all the cool reloading gadgets one could by I now am a self proclaimed scientist with of course a lot of guidance from members of this forum. Discovering a great load in my laboratory for the Ruger long range target rifle My son and I were popping clay pidgeons on the berm at 600 yards with Berger 140's every time we pulled the trigger! I am still hooked!!! [/QUOTE]
