</div></div>
Thats like saying "other than the steering wheel what the difference between driving volkswagon bettle and Indy Car"
Differences:
1. It requires a shooting system that is designed from ground up to be compatible with a projectile which is also designed from the ground up to be compatible with internal ballistics achievable which needs to be mated to have the correct exterior ballistics.
2. It requires vast support equipment that shooting 100, 200, 300, 500 do not require such as...scientific calculators, meteorological equipment, specific laser rangefinders, knowledge of terrain, knowledge of such terrains weather, knowledge of how that weather acts at various times of the day.
3. It requires knowledge and understanding of how the following terms affect impact on target..ballistic coefficient, danger range, danger space, gyroscopic precession, line of bore, line of sight, muzzle brake induced error, reverse image zero, slant range, spin drift, swept space, mid-range trajectory, maximum ordinate, etc etc.

And that sums up main reason for my #1 above. There are systems out there that push the projectile stable further than most people can accurately and reliably calculate firing solution for that distance.

Marathon running might pale in comparison in regards to the dedication it takes to ELR to be "good" at it LOL
