I was invited to shoot with f class buddies at a range to 1680 yds for fun at steel buffalo (1280 and 1680). 300 Weatherby Mag Accumark rifle is only rifle that I have that will reach 1680. Illinois elevation 600 ft. I shoot f class to 1000yds with Barnard 308 win rifle. Buddy built 300 PRC rifle for 240gr bergers and A tips to have fun at 1680. I have no intention to build a dedicated rifle.
I have 208 gr amax bullets (500), 200 gr Berger hybrids (48), and Berger 175 vlds (100).
