[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 599339, member: 505"] I agree with ken. Your maximum velocity spread is what determines how far that weapon is dependable. At 1000 yards your bullet is traveling through the kill zone of an animal for a very short distance as it drops out of the sky. Depending on your cartridge maybe 15 yards through the kill zone. Most people think of the bullet going straight at an animal. It is dropping like a rock at that distance. If your velocity spread varies 30 fps and causes a vertical group of say 8" then you have very little room for error. [/QUOTE]
