Sub sonic would be within 100 yards only. When target shooting I’m within 2” at 300 yards and on target at 400. 400 yards I can’t see well enough to be as accurate, it’s operator error. My friend can get within 2” with my rifle at that range. He’s 20 years my junior though.
Indeed SS is for back yard or special ops, and generally a high intensity cartridge like the 6.5 isnt used that way.
When you say “within 2””, and on target at 400 etc do you mean a 2” group? or somewhere around the aiming point, about 2”?
A 2” group at 400 is a really good outcome. I mean really good. That’s a better than a half MOA (1.047 inches per every 100 yards).
Can you hit with a 4-inch diameter painted circle or a 4-inch steel target at 400? If so, you are doing great.
