Where to shoot 500 yd +

There's a shooting club that uses the Ranges at Stone Bay on Camp Lejeune to shoot out to a Grand a couple times a month. The base allows them to use the barracks at the range, as opposed to a local motel or hotel.
They shoot Service Rifle, F Class, and others, just depends on the weekend.
 
Just wondering if anyone has access to shoot further than 500 yards (700 or more would be phenomenal) that might be interested in some company... just itching to let this 308 stretch its legs


There is VOD tactical in Old Fort. It’s a drive from Greensboro but there is steel out to 700. It is a members only range but members can bring guests for a $20 dollar all day range fee. Let me know if you ever make it up this way and I’d be happy to meet ya out there.
 
Weekends only for the public, members all day all week. Frontline Defense, it's worth the trip! I'm a member there.
To use 1,000yd you have to be a member. Folks drive from Charlotte and Richmond to shoot there.

can visitors with a member shoot on the 1000 yd range?

Hate to have you aiming at me 500 yards away. Now if the local deer hunters were to be, I wouldn't be so concerned.

You can shoot in my backyard at 500, 1000, hell or as far as you want. Your rifles’ capabilities are your only limitation…..might be a bit of a drive for you though.
Can we get 5000 yards there? If so I’m interested, though heat isn’t my big thing.

I am sure there is a spot to set up a 5000yd shot. Good thing about here is it’s only hot about 3-4months out of the year.
 
Looks good, just going to need somewhere better to shoot from, maybe turn that rock 90 degrees. Let’s send some 400gn cutting edge lasers out there at 2.5 miles.
Would be no problem to set up a 2.5 mile shot across this dry lake bed.

Could also set up the shot from the surrounding buttes and shoot down into the dry lake bed.

I was able to qualify today at CCGC. I was shooting 308 175gr Federal Premium SMK, 16" Faxon big gunner barrel. These are my first shots at 600 and 800(very pleased with both). My fps at 800 was down to 1180fps so I wasn't able to try 1000, since the electronic target system(unfortunately no steel on the range) will only register shots that are supersonic. One of the guys out there told about the Berger 185 juggernaut, which should be fast enough to register. Thanks again to everyone for your suggestions.

I dislike a 308, to put it mildly, but have done load development for several 308s with the juggernaut and have shot them out to 1100 with good results.

Have a point of contact for this Sir?
 
I am jealous of you guys with a personal long range. 600 is as far as I have shot but I’ve been looking for a nice range near the Charlotte area. I’m 30 minutes east of Charlotte so I thought I’d look at Coleman’s Creek.
