[QUOTE="6pnt5forever, post: 633702, member: 41446"] 400 yds is my limit on a unwounded game animal. Not that I am indifferent to varmints but high velocity plastic tip varmint bullets expand way out there. I have shot matches up to 1000 yds and many small varmints at 600 yds and more. My reason for a 400 yd limit on deer is (1) time of bullet flight that would enable the target to move from a kill shot to a wound shot - sometimes they move just when the shot is taken (2) bullet game killing performance for .30 cal and is better short of 400, I feel better with a 2000 fps plus hit- yes I know a .300 RUM can kill deer over 1/2 mile away (3) I do much of my rifle practice at 400 yds. What's the term - "bang - flop" or something like that. [/QUOTE]
