I know about 7mm SAUM and 338 LM, and I have read about 375 and 416 Cheytac. A few weeks ago I handled a rifle built for the 416 Hellfire cartridge. It must have weighed a good 12kg or more? One also needs to mention the .50 BMG.

And - if I may - what does the shooting cost? Some years ago a shooter mentioned he pays R120 per cartridge, and someone mentioned R75 000 - R120 000 per rifle. The equipment looks spectacular - much like a sports car for a kid.]]> Long Range Ds J https://systemz.online/community/long-range/which-calibre-s-for-lr-elr-and-general-costs https://systemz.online/community/long-range/heavier-bullet-and-range Wed, 17 Apr 2024 22:46:26 +0000 If a heavier bullet of same caliber is used, it will drop more than a lighter bullet EVEN if they are traveling at the same velocity.
Velocity is an constant, therefore the heavier bullet should have same POI if traveling at same velocity ?]]> Long Range Treeman https://systemz.online/community/long-range/heavier-bullet-and-range https://systemz.online/community/long-range/lots-of-long-range-shooting-in-sa-this-march Tue, 12 Mar 2024 02:12:38 +0000 Lots of shooting happening in Bloemfontein

Can someone give an indication of how many good regularly used long range - ranges there are in SA ?
Where they are and what they look like ?
I would like to see what their setup look likes
Then
Does anyone have suggestions - or plans for how to build a rifle range - for long range ?
I know what the normal formal Bisley  ranges eg De Brug look like as well as a place like Matroosbergstasie

What about a joint Bisley ( paper targets ) plus steel plate range

Obviously one needs the correct size and type of terrain to make this possible - clear to 1,000m
( or longer )
What about the setup for shooters - / shooting ramp - how and what should it look like / covered with roof and sides - protection from weather and so on to make the shooting pleasurable and easily managed
Then also some sort of clubhouse - chill-out place

As a long range shooter what would be the type of range as well as the ancillary facilities that you would consider , would request ,  to make for an ideal setup ?

Any examples ( local or International ) that you would suggest as being worth looking at
