[QUOTE="MMERSS, post: 991233, member: 63748"] [FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3]Effective range is a combination of precision and accuracy. [/SIZE][SIZE=3]Precision can be measured as the size of group the shooter/gun/ammo can obtain in field conditions. [/SIZE][SIZE=3]Accuracy is the ability to place a shot into the intended size of the target usually estimated within limits of uncertainties such as variations in wind and muzzle velocity. [/SIZE][SIZE=3]Both combined will provide for an estimate on shot probability, or maximum effective range, dependent on the size game and conditions encountered while hunting. [/SIZE][SIZE=3]Maximum effective range in most hunting instances will be less than the maximum range a bullet is capable of producing a desired minimum energy or impact velocity. [/SIZE][SIZE=3]Maximum effective range is not caliber and cartridge dependent and as previously stated is precision and accuracy dependent.[/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
