[QUOTE="LB, post: 35293, member: 2721"] Excellent analysis, and BTW, you smoked me out. The gun in question is actually a dual purpose pronghorn/coyote rig. It IS for open country, and I excercise restraint beyond the distances mentioned. However, within those parameters, and since it is my third one, it really seems to do the job for which it was designed. I'm impressed that you are also fond of the chambering, since it is lightly regarded by some. Different strokes, etc. but I feel that I get 257 Weatherby performance with twelve grains less powder. Simply looking at a high BC or high velocity tends to lose sight of the mission. Long range hunting isn't quite the same as target shooting. Thanks, LB [/QUOTE]
