What kind of guns can go that far? I have my grandpaws 30-30 and I put an awesome BSA MIL dot on it. That is what snipers use, you know the range finding scope. Do you think that my 30-30 can go that far? I have some awesome Remington Core Locks. I never miss the pie plate at 100 and it kills deer dead. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Well, only sniper rifles will actually go that far. A 30-30 will make it but only if you load one round at a time.

If its a mil dot scope I think you use dot six, or you can turn the thingy on the top a bunch of times and use the center dot, or turn a little and use the middle dot
Thats what's nice about f class, its freestyle

Yall killin me.....
Everyone knows you HAVE to have a BDC reticle to be able to hit at 600y.

One thing I can guarantee I'm able to hit @ 600 yards is..................................................................the ground! I have gotten lucky a few times and actually hit a target, but that was just luck. I'm still trying to find my super duper trick shot special top secret reloading recipe for my rifle though, and when I do y'all better look out.

My friends' dad told me his brother can hit a running deer at 1000 yards with a 30-30 so I KNOW it can be done.

Silly, all bullets hit the ground eventually! Yours just do it sooner!

A 30-30 is best suited for 1000 yards plus, easy! Shooting it at 600 yards would give you a distinct advantage over other competiors and could lead to a DQ if you are beating everyone too badly!

You should really think about bringing a .270 out there to shoot. It only drops 74.5" at 600yds where a .308 will drop 96" so it must be better! I've got a scope that has the 600yd mark on the cross hair too so I know it'll go that far! In fact, I can put the scope on my .45-70 and use it if need be.

 

[Barney88PDC]

Thanks Ritten but those numbers really kinda confuse me. (I never was really good with math). I'll just put up one of my own targets which is a printout of a deer broadside and just aim a little high. That is what I know and trust me it works.

 

[nortac]

Caution....

On the box of .22 LR it says they will shoot a mile.....I'll bring my (Secret) Squirrel rifle!

 

[RStewart]

Congratulations to Mickey, who for the second month in a row, won the FTR class. Great shooting, my brother!
