Listening to Glenn Beck today and one of the Hosts filli9ng in today said a bumper sticker said; “If guns kill people, then pencils misspell words!”
M1A with a M118 round, 32 clicks up and generally 7 clicks into the wind , nothing but "X"!
PS
130's in a 300 Mag, WOW!

As you probably know, at age 12 in Tucson Arizona while everyone was cutting there teeth on 22lr popping rats and beer cans at the local garbage dump, I was shooting 30-06 with 130 grain Hornadys by the hundreds. If your not convince, take the new 30 Remington® AR shooting 125 AccuTip at 2278 fps. If this excites you then pushing a 130 out of the 30-06 1000 fps faster should, that's a whopping 3300 fps of reach out and "KNOCK"EM DOWN JOHN" load if I ever seen one! A tad less recoil and a blistering reach across those Western Canyons!

yEP, YOU GOT IT!
In my 30-06, I do know 190's have a noticeably greater impart at 600 yards than 180's. The really turn rocks into pea gravel!
For Moose, I've found the 175's in the 7mm mags didn't have the knock down BANG FLOP as the 162's.
Watching the 7mm Rem Mag shooters with 175's and comparing them to the 30-06 group, the 30-06 did have a noticeable difference of a better kill on Moose. Much larger wound channel and hydrostatic shock.
The white rectangular dot on the front sight of my Remington Nylon 66, I use the bottom for 200 yard zero!

RIGHT'ON BROTHER!!
Long range shooting is not for everyone!
Did you know acording to Hatchers Notebook, a 150 Grain FMJ will penetrate far deeper almost 36 inches into 2x4's than 50 feet aproxematly 12 inchs. At 200 yards, the bullet path thru the wood is almost straight line, wearas at 50 feet the bullet has not had a chance to stabalise and tumbles. That is why I don't like super heavy weight bullets such as the 175 in 7mm's and 250's in 30 cal. Now you know the rest of the story!
Ontario Honker ... You say that you condemn anyone that does take those long shots? After what you been threw and what I have witnessed, "BOTTOM LINE" I really don't blame you for saying that.
