[QUOTE="LB, post: 35297, member: 2721"] For the record; Fifty has stated facts and figures and a philosophy that closely resembles my own. Without a clear definition, long range hunting is differnt things to different people. I'm primarily a predator hunter, many years. I know how far an animal can move, while the bullet is in flight. Unless it is bedded, regardless of the caliber or chambering, you have to consider this factor, especially when talking about a cartridge like a 223. Responding to questions is always risky. If a guy asks if it's okay to drive the Ortega Highway at 120 miles per hour, what are you going to tell him? It's been done before? I think not. You have to qualify your response; closed course, professional driver, etc. We know nothing about the man posting the original question. The fact that he asks the question, in the first place, shows that he has limited experience. I think you have to error on the side of caution, be conservative...watch your back, so to speak. The hero stories should come later, when you are sure of your audience. I have a few, myself. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] But, it doesn't involve game animals. I don't have a problem with anything written by Chris, whatever he is comfortable with, is fine by me, but I can't endorse (it) for the general public out there in cyberspace. Good hunting. LB edit: in the last sentence, I should have been a little more specific, depending on what the definition of "it" is. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] [ 08-23-2004: Message edited by: LB ] [/QUOTE]
