I note Uncle Larry, that you left off the ranges for the Stars and Stripes!

Now... was anyone up for 1000 yards? :wink:

a guy called kenny wasserberger runs a 1 mile shoot in wyoming for black powder rifles.
they get some surprising results.
i would not be surprised to see very little difference between a good black powder breech loader fired by an experienced shooter, and an average smokeless target rifle and shooter at this range.
keep safe,
bruce.

Yep Rod, they may break us in gently, but I hear the entry packs have a complementary tube of Vaseline.

:lol:

Linda after team practice at 1500yds at Coonabarabran, I,ll take that tube sideways and not flinch. :D

As for calibers. I suspect shoots like Coonabarabran will make the big 7mms and 30 cals with 230gn bullets right at home.
