I have a range back home that I have set up now for 1000 yards. It can get out to 2000 very easily. I have to be here in Texas until mid August in Houston, that sucks. I am having cancer treated at MD Anderson which is good. I should be a cured man when I leave. </div></div>
Well that's higher than I thought you'd be able to get
3150 for a 250 grain is definitely on the high side of things, I'd check your dope with a ballistics calculator to see if it agrees with that MV as it's much more common to see velocity in the range of 2900-3000 with a 250gr pill. Also, how's that Barrett shooting for you? I've seen mixed reviews online and would love to hear from someone who's actually shot one. </div></div>
I could use a suppressor, I haven't actually got to go out and see what it's potential is. At 200 yards it is very good. I love that scope. My ears are still ringing a little even with the ear protection. That is a loud SOB
