[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 905057, member: 12443"] you need to get out and about more and check out some of what goes on in long range benchrest matches. yes depending upon conditions some use smaller cartridges like a 6mm dasher. when its windy however many are still using 30 cal or other magnum cartridges. the 10 shot 1000 yd record which is under 3" is currently held by a shooter using a 300wsm. many of those shooters are also long range hunters. first round hits have always been saught by hunters so there is nothing new about that. the equiptment today can in some respects make it easier to do that than it was just a few years ago. but the fact is there were very successful long range hunters many years ago and their system is still producing very good results. a dead animal is the bottom line for success. wether it took 1 or 3 shots to accomplish that is insignificant other than for personal satisfaction. in that regard its no different than bragging over a small group. if your hung up on the value of it carry only one bullet with you. if you miss you failed and its over. just pray you dont hit any tree limbs because where i hunt theres lots of them. i guess kestrel hasent figured out how to deal with that yet.
