How far we talking when we say Long Range? Sniper Sustainment site so LE or Military, something like 300 yards for LE and 600 yard & out for military?? I make the differentiation based only on tactics and operational area as I understand the issue (not too well of course) and not on marksman capabilities
I'm not a sniper, never have been but I enjoy long range shooting in the First Round Hit (FRH) mode and I'm always interested in learning more about this/these method/s.

I would think LR for a Mil. Sniper would be 600-and out. LE would be 200-300. For the average, 338lm guy i think it would be 900-out.

I have been informed by Marine Snipers that typical maximum range for .308 is 800-900 yards.
Shooting at theater ballistic missile launchers and equipment such as radios ranges for .338 and .500 caliber rifles can go much longer sometime to 2000 yards.
Law Enforcement typically engages at ranges under 75 yards. Longer ranges are very unusual.

800 to 900 yards typical maximum engagement seems correct. Danger space getting a little short for the 308 out there and I guess targets aren't too keen on standing up tall and straight so there's a goodly amount of impact area.

Carlos Hathcot (spelling) took out an enemy in Nam at 1600 yards with an 06.  |
