Hi Guys
I am wanting to learn how to shoot distances greater than 300 yards. I am fascinated with delivering a bullet on target at 600 yards and hopefully 1,000 yards once I learn and practice some more.
I don't have a big budget and would like to start with a factory heavy barrel rifle before deciding if it is all that I hoped it would be and then looking at a custom rig.
I am leaning toward something in 308win but have considered everything from 260rem to 300WM. Any advice on cartridge/calibre/factory rifle would be appreciated. Whilst I understand that the rifle is only part of the equation, it is a starting point for me.
I was also wondering if there are any good articles on reading wind conditions? I am trying hard not to get too caught up in the cartridge thing and more in the learning of good shooting positions, consistency in approaching the rifle, target etc.
How much are the leading shooters practicing? What are good training habits to get into? So much to learn.
I hope you guys can help point me in the right direction.
Kind regards
Matt
