Well, I wouldn't call it "training" but I regularly push 22LR way out there. It's my favorite caliber, hands-down. In the third photo down in this thread I posted, we're doing exactly ^that.

As for rifles, most of my field shooting is with a CZ452 Varmint, 4-12X AO scope. Last year, I bought a rifle that I think is meant for this kind of "training" (in spirit anyway) and Anschutz 64 MPR "Tactical Trainer". See my post here;
http://www.outdoorsmenforum.ca/showthread.php?t=345003 At the time, it came equipped with a 20MOA rail, incredible trigger and at it's heart..the Anschutz 64MPR. Great gun, very heavy though. I baby it too much, but have bought a selection top-shelf ammo to try through it when the dam* weather cools off a bit here in Ontario.
