sunday at lunch i went to my buddy's place to watch them do some long range shooting. he let me shoot his 6.5 creedmoor and his 308 @ 500yds. the longest target i've ever shot at was 125yds so i was a little nervous. i shot 3 shots and hit all 3! the first was a 10" steel plate and the other 2 were 5" plates. i know thats not far for some people but that was a long way for me. it's exciting to shoot that far. i cant wait for my new rifle to get here and get it set up so i can do some more practicing at 250-500yds.

Sounds like fun - you will have a very nice rifle when you finish with it!

good deal. That .243 will shoot that far and be accurate also, with the right ammo and practice. IMHO

Would like to do some long range shooting one day. Always have planned to, but never have.

Love to hear that metal sing at long range! You'll have a blast!

Long range steel is awesome. 6.5 creedmoor is a fairly new caliber. Decent factory ammo available. 6mm creedmoor is the new "it" round at the moment.
They have some long range matches at Brock's gap if you are interested in that.
