Look at the snipers in Nam who were using .30 caliber weapons and the shots they performed. White Feather was one. Thanks for responding.
1000 meters with a typical M16? Yikes. I've shot out to 800 yards with my 20" HBAR and that was plenty for me. At that point your shot is dropping some 20 feet and carries less energy than a .22lr.
Wow, a .22 lr holds a lot of energy out to 800 yards.
