The buffalo!

It is ADDICTING. 1123yds. With most BPCR rifles, about 3.5s flight time for the bullet to get there. The spotter calls the hit, then 3.5s for the 'clang' to return.

Took these pics in 2006. If you weren't fairly close, your bullet would land in the trees and you would receive zero feedback. Relatively clear around it now, which helps if you aren't dialed in.

I usually shoot my Shiloh 45-90 with a Lyman Postell over Swiss 1.5f. 535gr @ 1350fps. My 45-110 shows promise with a 550gr @ 1420fps, but haven't put it on the buffalo yet...
