Started (relatively) Long Range Shooting....

Well, like most people I grew bored with punching paper at 100 yards, so I've decided to stretch it out a ways. I've been shooting my varmint calibers out to 400 yards on steel, and two months ago when my dad stopped by on his way home from Maine, we went 17 for 20 on clay birds at 375 yards.
A couple of weeks ago a friend of mine and I took my .204 and his .308 out and did some longer stuff on steel. It was a cold day, but very little wind. We shot the .204 out to 300 yards (wanted to shoot more but fingers were getting cold) and the .308 out to 640 yards.
The gear-
Savage vlp .204, 6-18x Burris, 40g Hornady/HSM
Rem 700 .308 by Losok custom rifles, 10x ss, 168gr amax
Friend ranging back to the truck after ranging to the target...note to self: get better RF.
My hit at 640 yards, longest ever taken in earnest, 1st round.
