Didn't say it was impossible.. There was an incident a few years ago where a UK soldier took out an insurgent at over a mile with his SA80 (.223) but at a mile to repeat time and time again is not likely with such a (relatively) light bullet... It will become transonic (with a VERY VLD projectile) at around 1000 yds and so the last 3rd of it's journey will be subsonic and possibly tumbling. That combination of downrange ballistics does not make for a repeatably accurate shot

had a rem mag for years. Fantastic weapon/cartridge.
Very versitile.
What can i say pull the trigger and almost anything at any range will feel its wrath.
The gun i always pick up when you have to come good with the job at hand. It will produce and not disapoint.

WOW! so many Viperous comments from those that are so intransigent that its either their way or the highway.
What gets right up my nose is that its ok to shoot foxes,crows, rabbits at any range but mention deer and it its a hanging offence!
We also go on about shooting out of season but have no concsience when it comes to shooting any other prey species out of season.
The vast majority of us have calibers and scopes that far exceed their needs let alone their capabilities, in reality, if we only shot at the distances we say we shoot at then a 30/30 with open sights would suffice.
My experience is that the vast majority of so called stalkers couldn't string a good group together if they had all year, and yet these are the very people who think they can judge others.
Not sure which member it was but they had kept a record of all the shooting tests they had witnessed and the results were abyssmal, over 1000 I think!
I too have witnessed first hand a similar number and the first thing that springs to mind is "all the gear and no idea" ,wouldn't trust them with a catapult let alone a firearms,and yet they feel no shame in saying what you should or should not be doing.
Get your own house in order before you comment on anybody elses.
Just a bunch of hippocrites.
PS forgot to add I also have a 7mm Rem mag and use it for what it was intended!!

News Of The World, well said! Oh and as for Vipa's comment about my 6mm BR set up, where did you get that from? I have'nt shot a BR for probably 12 months. I now shoot a full custom 30" Bartlein barrelled 7mm Rem Mag so whist you are telling Swarovski to take a reality check why dont you take the time to learn your own facts?

Where on earth did I mention your set up??? Ahhh right... I've seen it now, I read it as 'with a 6mm br set up'... your fault for confusing me with your forum name (doesn't take much!)
Sorry Swaorvski.... you are forgiven

That method seems to work in woodland not on open hills and mountains were you have to go and find them.

VIPa,I have a 25-06 and have it loaded with 85gr nos bal tips,I've shot 1.5 inch 3 shoot groups with it at 400yds,my last visit to bisley I loaded up some 100gr SMks to try for the crack at 600yds,I knew they would be pretty good coz I've shot half inch groups with them at 200yds,they were awesome at 600yds,they would shoot into 4 inches using sand bag under the butt using br pod.

So... the gauntlet is thrown down... get yourself entered into F/TR class at next years pheonix... with a performance like that you will come out with a medal.

My 695 tikka 30-06 was even better,about a year ago I put 7 shots out of 12 inside a 12 inch scoring ring with 8 moa windage in at 1000yds,best accuracy I've seen so far at 1000yds is from a 260 a ackley improved,sub 6 inch groups consistently,I've shoot into 6 inches several times and had v bulls but not quite as consistently

Do I? I didn't realise a question mark indicated surprise!
!,000 yards!!!!!!???????
Would have indicated surprise...I'm impressed, not surprised. Anyone shooting sub 6" groups consistently at 1,000 yards should seriously consider competition at national even international level. The v-bull of the current 1,000 yard open F-Class target is 5" or .5MOA, it used to be 1MOA i.e. 10". the current open bull is 10". Consistently shooting 6" groups would mean a perfect score consistently and with a spread of only 1" more than the open v-bull would mean that would include a very healthy smattering of 5vs. Bear in mind also that Vince Bottomleys current UK !,000 yard BR record sits at just under 3" we are talking about a shooter wo, performing like that would be able to compete with the best out there. Particularly as he can do this without the need for Open class F-class equipment!
At club and county level we still use the Bisley 1998 LR targets as do most LR comps that aren't true f-class. The v-bull on them is 14.4" and the winner usually has 7-8 Vs from a string of 10 shots, so based on that, again, being able to consistently produce 6" groups would see him walk away with every trophy or medal I've ever fought for...
So... as previously said, get yourself entered into the comps, particularly if you are close enough to Bisley to get there regularly... get your face known and put results in as you are and you will soon find yourselfe in a selection shoot for GB.

This seems to be a reoccurring problem with SD over the past year or so …… A persons will asks a sensible question because someone doesn’t agree with, read the question & answers properly or its out of their ability or skill level they start a slagging match.
This site (not just this thread ) appears to be filling up with keyboard stalker & warriors . Gents believe it or not there are people out there who are BETTER than YOU or ME I know it’s hard to believe and harder to accept but there ARE.
Discussion of the topic is paramount but as my old headmaster use to tell me “manners maketh the man”
If you can contribute to a thread in a positive way fill your boots….. if not think before you post your reply . ….Otherwise what will happen is newbie’s /novices /anybody else will see the slagging off on questions asked and especially videos posted and not bother asking when they read the comments posted by our very experienced keyboard stalkers / warriors.
This will be the slow demise & death of the site as people will not bother to post or reply.One thing I do agree with shooting accurately up to 600m is one kettle of fish from 600m & over is a different ball game altogether .
Gents enjoy the site and the varied skills, abilities that come with it and learn.
Regards….Neil

In my club we shoot at army targets mainly,you maybe familiar with fig 11 target,the v bull is on the wrist of the soldier,was told bull was 4 inches and the outer scoring ring was 1 foot diameter,fig 11 target is 17 inches wide and 48 inches high,I haven't measured one but back on the firing point 4 fig 11 targets look like a barcode with the naked eye 
.my 30-06 is in classifieds for sell,it's bog standard hunting rifle I used for stalking,I made up a load that's shot sub inch 5 shot groups at 300yds,I did shoot 4 into 0.640 of an inch and let the last one go a bit but was still sub inch,awesome rifle but needed 10 shot mag capability for 600 and 200 yards,having to mag change when yoom trying to shoot 10 shots in 45 seconds is a pain,bad mag change you mite not get all you shots off
