[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 663624, member: 12443"] i happen to know darryl cassel pretty well. ive known him for at least 25 years. he lives about 1 mile from our nc pa camp. that said ill be forthright in saying we have our personal differences. he is an experienced long range hunter and shooter. the elk in question here was not taken by him or his group nor was he present when it was taken. he claims elk kills of over 2000 yds however. his gun is a 338x416 imp. built by bruce baer. i have no reason to doubt his claims as he has the experience and equiptment to pull it off. the elk in question here as i recall was something like 2840 yds. the group involved were also very experienced. they were from pa although i believe one might be from ohio. i dont know any of them personaly other than to have been around them at a few rifle matches. however a very good friend had some dealings with several of them at his home shortly after the elk kill. he was told they were somewhat embarresed by the incident and had no desire to attempt a repeat of it. they did not kill the elk cleanly. rather they crippled it to where it couldnt get away. he claims being told it was late in the day and they went the following morning to finish it. others claim they were told they finished it the same day. the rifle would have been either a 338x378 or a 338x416. as a long range hunter of 40+ years im inclined to agree with augustis. this is no place to be discussing these type things. the chances of failure are far greater than success even by the best of us at those extreme distances. i only know one individual who even claims to have killed a pa deer at a mile. and that person just happens to be darryl cassel. there are some very good shooters with some very large rifles wandering around there.
