Blkeye73, since you have already contributed above and beyond your knowledge and experience on this thread, I just don't see how anything could qualify you as worthwhile, or whatever you were trying to say.
On the other hand, I never stay an Holiday Inn, prefering to stay at Marriott or Hilton, which I do about 120 nights a year or more.
What really makes me smile about this thread is that I always get attacked for talking about the one aspect of shooting at which I excel; long range competition, with people time and again telling me that nobody at this site cares about shooting past 100 yards. But yet, when there is a thread started by someone who wants to know which Ruger product to use for shhoting at long range, all my detractors suddenly become LR experts, without ever firing beyond 100 yards. You must appreciate the irony.
There is no one here who knows even 10% of what I know, what I personaly know about shooting at long range, because I have been doing it for many years, continuously. I have sent more bullets down range at 1000 yards, in competition, than most everybody here will shoot in their lifetimes. And I continue to do that every month.
As most of you know, I am always happy to share my information with anyone who is even mildly interested and I notice that not a single participant here has written anything to contradict anything I have stated about shooting at long distance.
Why do you think that is?
Even though I will not be staying at a Holiday Inn any time soon, I think I can answer that. It's because these harpies know that I absolutely know what I am talking about when it comes to shootin, shooting at long range or handloading. They cannot argue the facts, so they argue the person. And lose, of course.
So, to the OP, if you are truly interested in 600+ yard shooting, do keep asking questions, I am happy to answer. I have no problem dealing with the rabble rousers here.
