We (PSMA) shoot F class (and Palma/long range) at Ft Gordon, and we have people older than you shooting. You do not have to be a member to shoot.

I would work up a load with either Varget or RL15 IN A WINCHESTER CASE with the 155 AMax, 45 grains should get you to 1000 yards supersonic. I would not go higher than that, and definitely would not start with that. My 46 grain Varget loads for my Palma rifle are way too hot for my older Remington 308 VS.

The 175 Sierra is just fine for 1000 yard shooting, I trounced most of the Marine Corps shooting team with M14's at a 1000 yard match at Ben Avery in AZ when I lived there. That was with a Danish Var Garand shooting LC match brass and 47 grains of Varget. Came in 3rd even with 2 misses when we had a 180 degree wind shift.

PM me if you are really serious to shoot with us. I don't shoot much long range, its either across the course or long range, and I don't have time for both, but been tempted to try the LR game again.
