[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 348355, member: 11717"] Chas, All the above is true. In EastHunter's case, It sounds to me like 500 yds will be his max range and his priority is dropping moose as quick as possible. He is also using factoring ammo and I'm guessing in the 1000' altitude ball park. Most factory ammo uses low BC bullets and the loads will not match handloads tailored by most LT hunters, especially at lower altitudes. My guess is that in his neck of the woods, the ammo he can get will likely be Fed SP's, Partitons, Rem corelocts, etc. And he really doent need much more for 500 yd shooting. So with a factrory rifle shooting factory ammo, 400-500 yds is about the limit both ballisitically and probably accuracy. Cheers, Mark [/QUOTE]
