[QUOTE="duckhunter175, post: 1460862, member: 89164"] I'm sure someone will be along shortly with a "cartridge not caliber" comment. That being said-- what do you feel like is 'longe range' for your hunting and shooting distances? Give us something to quantify. For example-- the longest shot I've taken on game is a little over 400 yards which is a chip shot for most modern long range rifles and cartridges. I probably won't shoot much further on any animal. So-- I stick to somewhat faster cartridges which helps eliminate elevation errors at those distances. Do you plan to handload? That will open another pandora's box of options. [/QUOTE]
