Also remember that while a shot had been made at that distance, it was truly a lucky shot, IIRC the ammo was warmed inside his jacket, they were over pressure rounds and while it worked, he missed a few times first.
For shots on targets the size of a "melon" we need to remember the ability to detect that target and successfully engage it with a first shot.
Combine that with all environmentals and Coriolis and it is becomes a challenge for any of us.
What we need is a bbl with a left hand twist for work in the northern hemisphere and vice versa.

Gene, what is your opinion?
I got a 1-9" twist barrel and I'm planning on shooting the 300 grain pills. I should be able to get them up to 2800-2900 fps with the 30" barrel, I'm hoping. I'm leaning pretty heavily toward the USO. I'm going to read some specs on it and see. I got to looking for some reviews on the Valdada and all I could find was people selling them. That's not a good sign.
