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.
Sounds like you lads shoot much like we do here. I can reach 2500 yards off my south deck (I shoot moa). It’s funny, I used mils in the army, but I prefer moa. Sometimes the elk will come by the house a few hundred yards out, so if you’re paying attention, you can bag some meat heh.
I looked at the 408, but given my goals and operational capabilities, I can’t justify the expense. I’m not funded by the tax payers anymore. If I get the chance, I’ll compare notes with you guys sometime. I use strelok pro app a lot too for fast firing solutions. Really great app if you’ve never used it.
