Extreme Long Range shooting

Lapua Magnum, buy something Finnish.

Why the LM? Can you elaborate on your reasoning behind it? It has a lower BC than say, .375ct

>>32185756
Because it's an excellent round, cheaper and easier to find and it's also Finnish.

Personally I'm less concerned regarding price and availability, and more about the objectively best round. I wont argue that the .338LM isnt a great round, because it is, but is it really the best one out there for ELR?

I'm just shilling and bumping your thread, but sadly I know nothing.

Thanks man, interesting link. Seems like he prefers the .338LM mainly based on price and availability compared to the other ones.

1000 yards = .243 Win, .260 Win, 7mm-08, and generally better than .308 Win.

1300-1500 or so yards (2000 is really just slinging them in the general direction unless you're shooting an area target) = .338 Lapua for the most part.

I personally like sending little 6mm pills out to 1000. Easier to find a 1000 yard range, and it's still mighty far away.

6mm match has a high BC combined with a high velocity

Supersonic to 1000 yards is easy to achieve

6.5mm and 7mm can do the same, but you can more recoil, which doesn't really matter all that much, but you can often watch your fall of shot with .243/6mm

0-700 .223
0-1100 .308
0-1400 6.5CM
0-1700 7mmRM or 300WM
0-2500 338LM

Beyond that and you need 50 or artillery. .223 can do more. At really long distances, you need to use the ballistic WEZ software to figure out your theoretically possible best hit % based on wind, load and accuracy errors.
