Learning 1,000 Yard +

[South Prairie jim]

To all...

Thank you responding. Really do appreciate being here.

This is just an update, nothing more.

The rifle I spoke of in my first post was the most accurate rifle I've ever owned...and I've owned too many. Unfortunately, it would not stabilize the heavier bullets for continued LR shooting. I did consider a barrel change. Also considered other cartridge options. After a LOT of study...based on the MANY good references...have moved to the 6.5 Creed. No need to express why...all the advantages are well known. The scope is now a Zeiss S3 - FFP - MIL. Much more learning ahead.

Will be posting updates. Shoots100 has already offered good advice on my Coyote hunting with this cartridge.

Thank you again.
Good selection. Congratulations bro enjoy the ride.

Long, long time shooter - my first hands-on training / learning experience shooting beyond 500 yards.





My Savage Low Profile Varminter in .243 Win exceeded all expectations. Handloaded 90 gr Accubonds may not have been the best LR bullet but it's what I could find in stock locally. Bullet weight up - decent BC. Did everything I asked from 500 to 1,000. When the shooter got it right - distance and wind calculations - accuracy was flat-out excellent. All to say - each and every piece of my very carefully assembled gear out performed the shooter.



2. NOT interested in the 6mm Creedmoor. AM considering a 6.5 Creedmoor for all the commonly known LR target advantages. Your thoughts??

Thank you.

Cheers
