[QUOTE="shortshooter, post: 146308, member: 7359"] Mr. Allen, I'm new to longer range shooting and share your frustration who scribe about our sport of shooting and hunting. Fact is as indicated in former posts, that most publications are just advertisements and product gloss. As far as Mr. Barsness and others writers are concerned, they are mostly ignorant of the capability of modern rifles and cartridges. Most writers have absolutely no idea what a standard like the 308 or 30-06 is capable of, being fielded by a knowledgable shooter and proper equipment. Like I said, I'm new to this sport and with very little education have realized how far my lowly little 308 can shoot and also know my 30-378 is a death ray for elk sized game at 1000yd+. It's plain laziness, and lack of understanding that drives gunwriters to make blanket statements and assumptions. Perhaps you Mr. Allen should do a few colums for some major publications like shooting times or outdoor life. Explain to the writers and one box of ammo per yr. sportsmen what it takes to shoot beyond the sacred 300 yd mark, and explain that 500 yds is not even close to being long range. That would be a very good place to start, and a positive way to direct energy and frustration into rifle education for the unknowing. Good luck dealing with the infidels Mr. Allen, as it's hard for them to repent and go on part the sacred 300 yd alter. [/QUOTE]
