[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1669477, member: 87243"] Very accurate. Seems like all the people that won't shoot over 300-500 yards on game but 1000 yards+ on targets have latched onto this thread, though this is "longrangeHUNTING.com". There is nothing wrong with self imposed limits, if someone isn't comfortable with a farther shot that is great, noone wants a wounded animal. However, as you hinted at, it seems this is dipping it's toe into the ethics of taking game at farther distance, and some seem to be slightly looking down the nose at those that do, without outwardly admitting it. I was reading a thread on another forum the other day reviewing the use of a specific bullet, where a man took a cow elk at exactly 1,600 yards with his .338 Lapua AI, with a perfectly placed shot just behind the shoulder. Wonder what some here would say to that? Not calling anyone out in any way shape or form, just simple observation and curiosity. Carry on!! [/QUOTE]
