Hi all,
Just curious if anyone has experience pushing their German (or any Schuetzen for that matter) rifles out to 300m? If so, which caliber and what load did you find worked best? Was it different than your 100/200 yard load? 

While in the America 200 or 220 yards was the common distance, from what I've read in Germany and Austria 175m (191 yards) and 300m (328 yard) was the most common distance. Three hundred meters seems pretty far for a Schuetzen cartridge but apparently it was done. 

In Switzerland, shooting was almost exclusively at 300m. But the Swiss typically used their military 7.5x55 cartridge while the Germans most popular cartridge was the 8.15x46R similar to the 32-40. 

I'm curious to see how the two compare at 300m so I plan on doing seen tests with my Aydt in 8.15x46R and a Swiss Martini in 7.5mm in the coming months to see what type of scores I can achieve with a Schuetzen and a military cartridge at 300.
Thanks,
