Beginners Guide to Long Range Shooting PART 1: Caliber selection

volume sucks

Great video! Which province are you at? In BC there aren't much info for beginners as to where we can actually shoot targets! I mean where it is not illegal to discharge a rifle. There are some provincial "no shooting" maps, but they are not very clear. Is there a more comprehensive reference? Thanks.

DO NOT BUY A SAVAGE 110 in any caliber and especially in 338 Lapua. This gun is a piece of junk.

The first thing you will find out is you need a hefty income.

Thanks!

You're a newbie you don't even know what the f*** you're talkin about

First there was a 270 Win, then 7.62x54R. Now 300 win mag.
Ultimately.338 Lapua mag (price of the ammo is so outrageous !)
Good video bro !

What stock is on the tikka 223?

I have a 7 Rem Mag, but I have been looking at the 280 AI lately.

I went from a pellet gun to a 22lr to a 243 win to a 308 to a 6.5 creedmoor to a 338 win to a 338 lapua to a 30.378 weatherby. Each has its capabilities and downfalls. I would have to say I enjoyed the 6.5 creedmoor the best

I started with the Ruger 10/22.
I got a bolt-action 270 when I was 7 years old as a Christmas gift.
Thankfully we went to my grandfather's literally every weekend and he has or had rather a giant farm in New Hampshire with Fields after field after field. Hundreds and hundreds of yards of wide-open shooting range. And I got pretty damn good with that 270. Ammo was a lot cheaper back then. (End of 80s)..

I have been practicing long range shooting when I say long-range I mean up around a thousand yards but no more than twelve hundred yards... Exclusively with a Savage model 111. Now this thing's been around for a while. Right around 25 years give or take. It's got the four round metal detachable box magazine with the push button magazine release on the right side of the rifle. It's the one that you never see anymore and you can't really buy any parts for.
It's not the only rifle that I have that I do long range shooting with but it's the one that I use for that purpose easily 90% of the time. I don't get out nearly as much as I would like to give him the cost of ammo these days and I'm a bit of a prepper so I like to keep a stockpile of every caliber that I have. And I've collected quite a few Firearms over the years as have my daughters. I have five girls. Currently between the ages of eight and 21 years old.
They all shoot. I taught them everything that I know and my oldest three outshoot me when it comes to tactical maneuvering these days. Those girls are damn good.
Lately we've been working on the long-range like 500 yd + with a gong that is 12 in in diameter.
I've never been one to be able to calculate all the math and all that shit. I think I've just got that hillbilly ability to do it.😂

This was a very well-presented video. I sent it to my daughters and a couple of friends of mine. You got my subscription with this video.

the 270 is good for long-range as well

do you hunt with your precision riffle?

Your a American was use yards not meters

I sure he's assuming you're moving up from rimfire.I still plink with my favorite.22 but became board hitting baseballs at 400 yards. 👍

When we start shooting here in the Netherlands, when you want a rifle you are limited to .22 LR. After a year having your license you can step up to centre fire.
Another quit important point is that we have 3 places where you can shoot 300 meters in the whole country. I am a member of a club where we will get next year a 200 m track, I bought myself a Ruger American Rimfire LRT, put a Konus F30 8-32x56 scope on it, a Magpul bipod and just started shooting, took me 10 shots to zero on 50 meters, next 10 shouts were within 1 cm. And this stayed consistent, so the rifle is great, because I know I’m mediocre. Then a few mates tried it out and they were doing the same groups. So now I can say I pulled the right straw and having a Ruger straight out of the box as accurate as hell. Lucky me.

You forgot .270 or 7mm. Check out those ballistics.

This is excellent advice. Once you have rinsed a day of 300win mag home loads and still can't afford the gas to drive home, hear the car start or lift your arms to drive, you will appreciate getting more time, skill development and ultimate satisfaction from a good 22lr.

good

How about 30-06?
