I am guilty of turning a rifle that can shoot 1/4 MOA off the bench into a 6 MOA rifle with me shooting offhand. I tried using a 7mm BR in Metallic silhouette but 500 metres is a long way.

I am interested in what speeds guys are finding a node shooting a 7mm with a 168 grain bullet, must be someone with some success with speeds above 2600 fps.

thanks for the response Gamerancher, yeah the older fella who I spoke too was probably only 65kg or so, so I guess recoil part comes into :thumbsup:
