[QUOTE="436, post: 2149745, member: 16609"] I only mention it because you have to... "bring game.. to get game" as they say, paper at long range is no problem'..., light, high BC bullets with lighter recoiling cartridges, they work just fine, but.. tipping-over something like a large bull at long-range takes a little bit of horsepower to do it right, which mean heavier recoil and some folks just have a tougher time with that, and of course what does long-range mean to you, 400-500, 800 or 1000 yards everyone has a different idea as to what long-range really means. So as for the question of caliber; just bring enough gun for the animal your hunting, perhaps something like 1500 FPE at the distance you consider "your" long-range. Good luck in your future hunts.
