[QUOTE="MachV, post: 251817, member: 93"] I set out one time on a long range hunt. It was to get a prairie dog past 2000 yards one weekend, failed but had a fun time trying. Other wise I hunt with the intention of filling a tag! Long range is something I practice for if the opportunity arises....I don't back up a few hundred yards just to make it interesting. Last year I shot two doe antelope with an old 6.5x55 Swede with open sights @ 200 and 250 yards....I couldn't get any closer or I would have! Got my mulie last year @ 150yards but I was setup to go as far as 800. This year I used the 6.5-284 and felt comfortable shooting a goat @ 453 and Mulie @ 619 but they would have been just as dead @ 50 yards. Got a whitetail with the Super Red Hawk in 454 Casull last fall just inside of 100 yards, it was just as rewarding as any of the others [/QUOTE]
