I know this is a long range hunting forum but in your opinion what distance is to far? I was antelope hunting this past week and was able to take a long shot at one and was successful. I spent a whole mess of time load developing and testing that load for the hunt. I would like to share the picture and distance but don't want to if it would look bad because of the distance. So please comment. I know the effective range is cartridge specific and i had more than enough gun for the shot.

Congratulations on a great shot. And a great trophy. That's got to be a great feeling to have all your hard work rewarded. I personally have fallen in love with long range shooting and hunting. Am always reading and on the lookout for better equipment and trying to improve my skills. There are hunters that don't think that long range is ethical. But a lot of these same hunters will shoot well beyond their means without the knowledge that we as long range shooters and hunters do our best to gather and understand. One thing I do believe that we need to do when taking any shot is follow up and do our best to ensure that we did hit or miss. Again congratulations on a great shot and the ability and confidence to make the shot.
