Long range shooting

[Turkeyslayer]

How many of you guys shoot long range 500+ yards and what kind of calibers do you use

Just started getting into it. I’ve taken a couple of classes at Hudson farms and learned a lot.  Was hitting 900 yd steel plates. 
Im shooting 6.5 PRC from a Christensen Arms Ridgeline.

Always wanted to get into it but not enough places around to safely shoot for me.

Hard to find a place for 200yrds. When I need to practice for western hunts I go to pa. My friend is a member of a shooting range with 350 yards. 2 hr drive

This is the longest range I know of ( in South Jersey anyway)

I don't know of any place else with anything over 300. 

Just really hard in such a small populated state to find land for a long distance range.

Recently attended the long range shooting school at Barbour Creek in Alabama.  Amazing school and instructor, you can check out his video segments on YouTube, you will learn a ton just from his videos. 
We shot 6.5 CM out to 1,000 yds, as those were the class rifles, which were used to better allow bullet movement (with lighter rounds) and learn how to read /adjust for hold off, we didn’t dial in windage, it was totally holds for wind using MOA scopes. 
For hunting purposes, depending on particular game, a better round appears to be the 6.5 PRC, but as you know there is some personal preference involved in choosing a round. 
Check out the videos James Eagleman puts out from Barbour Creek, you’ll get all the info you need.

If any of you are in north jersey Cherry Ridge has a 100 and a 200/300 yard range.  Nice facility and never too crowded on weekdays.

Central Jersey rifle and pistol club has a fairly long range. Been years since I’ve gone with my uncle. Great place

For 23 years. Much of that was a Family Membership, bringing my sons with me. We really like it. Lots of good people, and ranges. Never had any problems.

I shoot 1000 yards with a Ruger Target/Varmint in 6.5 Creedmoor.  Went to Wolf Precision shooting school in Johnstown, PA (twice I liked so much).  
 

I belong to Mifflin County Sportsman’s Club and they have a 1000 yard range.  Also shoot at Thunder Valley in Ohio which has targets to a mile.  
 

I hunt with a Gunwerks rifle in 7mm RM shooting 168 Bergers and practice out to 500 yards with it.

Currently shooting a custom 22lr out to 600yds and my big boy is a Seekins precision H.I.T. In 6.5 PRC. 

You can shoot steel out to 600 at Tommy Gun warehouse in northeast  P.A.

At my farm in NY we shoot 1200+ yards. Very controlled. Wind flags. Load individual rounds. Fun as hell. 

I shoot 6.5 saum. Custom rifle

I know of no place public you can shoot for distance. At least locally.  Need a private location you can shoot and do so safely
