All depends on how big a target you’re shooting at


I would be thrilled if i could hit lets say a 3 x 3 target at anywhere from 500 to 1000 yards .
Using my AR with something like a 70-75 grain bullit.

And yes..I know pretty much anything beyond 400 to 500 yards is pushing it for an AR15 .

I can keep 6" to 8" groupings in the 200- 250 yards as it is. And thats pushing it for my current scope
But want to try some long range shots....just for grins. Someday


I need to get back to the range. I havent been since covid started



But isn't an AR-15 the most powerful rifle ever?

I bought a browning a-bolt .300WM with a 26" barrel and 4x12 leupold so hopefully some day I could shoot 1000 yrds but I can't seem to figure out what ammo to use, I have had the best luck with the cheapest federal 180gr I can find. It will do a whole lot more damage than my AR that I no longer have of course.

I am not causing global warming, I am just trying to hold off a impending Ice Age!
