A 250gr bullet in .338 does not have sufficient sectional density to stay true over that distance.

A 300gr boat tail would do the trick. The BC must be at least .6

Suppressed with a 33 Lapua (Suppressor has given it more velocity)

I highly doubt that a suppressor gives any bullet more velocity.

What I would believe is that a suppressor retains much of the muzzle blast as the bullet exits, so the bullet is less disturbed as it leaves the muzzle.

Hitting man sized targets out to a quarter mile is not difficult. After that it takes high quality components and highly trained shooters.

A fact that most long range shooter understands when shooting out to beyond 1000 yards the bullet starts to drop like a rainbow. Thats due to (getting a little technical here) the environmental factors of temperature and barometric pressure.

Gee, do you think gravity might have anything to do with it?

Who writes things this stupid?
