[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 1712306, member: 12443"] Well a mile shot wouldn’t be a chip shot regardless of the cartridge, but then killing a deer at that distance is a whole nuther thing. Which is why we haven’t heard or read much about them. There are quite a few places in NC PA where you could shoot that far and even further. But most days during the season you could lay on the roads leading to them with little fear of being run over, and it has little to do with not having the right guns. As for the wind, it is whatever it is, which of coarse reflects on what i just said. The shot the guy made with the 270, could well have been made with just a small holdover, but i wasent of a mindset at that time to ask questions like that. The shot i made on the bear was a first round hit with a 7x300 Wby. Using a 162 gr Hornady match BTHP leaving the muzzle at about 3400 with no correction for wind, and i was shooting from a portable bench. No doubt luck played a roll, which in my opinion it often does, especially when hunting. [/QUOTE]
