[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 825291, member: 12995"] 1000 yards is the longest range I have had access to. I have not setup anything further than that currently. As whitetial deer are my primary game of choice, I tend to use that as my comparison. I have shot whitetails ~700. We don't get super long deer shots around here unless you're hunting massive greenfields or power or natural gas lines. I appologise, if you seem to be under the impression I have shot 5000 yards with 1.25" caliber rifles, but that certainly is not my intentions to portray, other than what I actually know. You have shot further than I have, and you like big calibers for your own reasons. I don't discredit this known information. Facts are facts. I was pretty sure people are allowed to have their own opinions on things, and that that was what makes the world go round....But as you can see, I am not downing the .338, I am simply saying that I have no need for one, and that his .300 WM will probably be good for 1200 yards. Never killed an elk, so, got no clue on that, which is why I said "probably". I won't pull any punches, and I won't try to BS you. I'm certainly not a keyboard jockey, either. I may not be as accomished as some of yall, and I don't get paid to shoot guns for a living and get tons of free high-end stuff either, I'm not some famous person...I certainly am a nobody....And that doesn't bother me in the slightest. I'm only here to help, get help, exchange information, and voice my opinion...Which is what internet forums are for. But I like to think that I do know somewhat what I talk about, despite my opinions being different from the general concensus. I was simply saying his original choice would probably work and that alot of yall use the .338's. I never said anything was better than anything... And Jeff, I would love to go shoot 1500 yards with you. I bet in person we'd get along alot better than we do on here. LOL I'm pretty laid back and easy to get along with, but on here apparany I don't portray that, and I needed to clear that up.
