    Who is running a .223 out to 1000yrds?

    I didn't want to change the discussion from the capability of a 22 bullet. Mine is the 6.5 x 55 Swede (.224 Vais). My weapon is a switch barrel with a 7.5 x 55 Swiss throwing a 105 Berger VLD at 3300, a solid 1300 yard groundhog gun.

    Who is running a .223 out to 1000yrds?

    For what it is worth, the 80 Berger at 3560 fps is a serious 1000 yd ground hog gun. My wildcat bolt gun has a 30 inch barrel.

    Let me make sure I completely understand!

    You are right ELR researcher. I purchased from both way back and got them confused.You list two sources. is the case exactly the same. If not, how do they differ.

    Long range shooting

    Not a very good choice for those distances. Your BC is too low to make it feasible. You could probably hit a barn with your limited scope power but biggest problem is your rifle probably shoots at best 1 MOA where most long range rigs are more like .2 to .5 moa. i don't think you can get there...

    I need to purchase .408 brass only. I can purchase Bertram brass from Lost River or I can buy Bertram brass from Lost River. Is this reality? Has it come to this WITHOUT any pressure from military on supply? Even the Jamison 2 star is gone? thanx

    Do you think the 375CT & 408CT are here to stay?

    It is about 9 months since your post and I am unaware of anyone in Europe ramping up for .408 ammunition. I sure don't see any progress in the states either. I don't give a rats ass about complete rounds that could cost $20 bucks apiece as Govts and military do not have limitations on what they...

    Anyone have experience firing .408 350 grain pills sold by Lost River in a previous life!

    I bought a bunch when I stocked up on the 419 grain but have not fired them at all because I am all about the BC's/ i remember they claimed a very good "point blank" window where you didn't have to worry about elevation for a torso hit. I understand the appeal but wonder what might have been...
