[QUOTE="epc001, post: 2735856, member: 124620"] Sir, I'm the noob here although a long time rifleman ( not LR) . the not-so-well-known-member suggests you have plenty of kinetics to reliably take game to 500m+. If your 300wm isn't optimized yet to sub-moa with superior optics, that would be job 2. Job#1 sir would be to become exceptionally proficient with the 300 wm that you have in your hand past 500m. 600m 900m would be good practice or whatever you have available. You know, get to the point where 300M is a layup and 500m is easy practice. Chief, I don't know about you but as a kid enjoying shooting , in uniform runnin'n gunnin' or as a middle aged shooter/hunter, my shooting physicality was never much an issue. Awareness, yes, yet no issue. Now, in OF status dressed with chrome dome, my physicality becomes more of an issue. While "YMMV" this is why Job1 is drill, Job 2 is platform optimization imho. ( my " LR practice rifles" are in 30-06/3.08 for now!) Hey, noob question if y'all wouldn't mind. When I first started chasing whitetails up close and personal ( to you Westerners) here in the NE, I reckoned a 9" paper plate was a good facsimile of the boiler room target in the woods. AS I start to learn LR shooting ( and hunting eventually) is that still an adequate "kill zone" @ 500+m although the game are larger? [/QUOTE]
