[QUOTE="Dave King, post: 944, member: 3"] Redneck After reading many of your posts and thinking about this one I feel compelled to reply. You mention a mule deer at 543, a whitetail at 551 and a jack rabbit a 748. I dont see any reference to shots in the 1000 yard range other than asking about 600 ft/lbs of energy being sufficient to kill a deer and your statement of 1000 yard group sizes. If you read post from the other folks on the board you'll see numerous mention of practice and rarely does anyone mention shooting beyond what they practice and feel absolutely confident in their ability to kill at that range. Your statement of "atempt a shot" to me means you're not confident in your ability at this 1000 yard distance. I suggest you practice a good deal more before shooting at these distances, there's a considerable difference between 750 yards and 1000 yards. Even a 6 o'clock tail wind at 1000 yards is not to be discounted with a rifle in the 308 Win class. [/QUOTE]
