Shooting Distance

[SCIBUL]

Hello all !
My shooting distances vary because of gun type and ammo used.
For pistol training I use 25 meters (and always shoot cast).
For pistol plinking it could be from 7 to 200 meters (always CB shooting)...
For rifle with cast from 50 to 300 meters (I wait the NOE .311 spitzer to go much far).
And for rifle with condom bullets 800 meters is the end of the range

My practice and competition distances are 7 metres/10 metres/ 25 metres and 50 metres with S&W "L" Frame revolver and iron sights. Starting to have real problems getting half decent groups at 50 with my nearly 66 year old eyes but still enjoy the challenge.

Hard to determine whether some of you are shooting Cast or not. I will talk Cast.

I'm not sure my 30-30 would know what to do if I put a jacketed bullet in it.

With the exception of my Glocks and my J Frame Carry pistols, I shoot cast in all of my other pistols. As far as rifles, my ARs and my M1As being the exception to shoot cast bullets, all my other rifles, especially my Marlin lever guns, I shoot cast in them, many times at speeds that come close to factory jacketed stuff.

when starting out a new load, OR, shooting reduced loads, i shoot @ 50 yards. when practicing for hunting, or trying to improve my skills, 100 yards. it would be longer, but i can not find a good place to shoot longer than that with a good backstop. and i will not shoot in the woods and not have a backstop!
