[QUOTE="angus-5024, post: 313399, member: 10306"] I think I must side with MontanaRifleman on this one. Though a havent ever shot anything past 500 yards, just looking at the numbers I would think that there are BETTER CHOICES for 1k plus. not to say that 7RM is not a capabile long range cartrige, just that there are better choices out there. I think that the 7RM is one of the best cartriges ever designed and my next rifle is going to be one. i have seen the "Best of the West" once or twice, and I didnt think too highly of it. not that the hunters were'nt making great shots, i just think that they try to make it look easier than it is. one video I saw on youtube showed a hunter taking a bull elk at beyond 900 yards with a 6.5-284. though some may argue, I know that that is an inappropriate cartrige selection. I also see guys that dont know dirt about ballistics making shots over 650 on their guides instruction, off a log with poor form. I too wonder how many 2,3,4 and 5 shot kills dont make it on air. As far as kentucky eleavtion goes, It does work with practice. the shooter must know the limitations is all. I have taken a black bear at 400yards with a .340Wby useing holdover (simply because I couldnt afford a new scope), and have seen an old LE vetran shoot goat sillouettes out to 500 yards with a .375 HH in 15mph winds without dialing. not to say that it is anywhere near the best method for even mildly long shots, but it can get you to 500 yards with the right caliber.
