There’s a few hunters who give me grief about range. There’s not many who will shoot like my buddy and I do up here (2000 yards plus), so for us 600 yards is a hip shot whereas most wouldn’t try it.
6.5 creedmoor and 300 Norma are the way to go. Two calibers, and I can do anything.
Yup I shoot F class @ 1000, and with my Lapua dings steel at 1600 regularly. One of My fellow Marine brothers owns a tactical group that trains operator’s here in North Texas their long distance range goes to 2400 meters and I have shot that far with a 408 cheytac and custom 50bmg as a “demo” user. I’m very tempted by the 408 but at 10 grand it’s investment the old ball and chain frowns on. My 7 mag also dings them at a mile with the right wind calls and laser range. A 600m shot on game is nothing compared to a 12” plate at 1000 or an 18” at a mile. Besides they are food and we have dominion over them I shoot at will.
