[QUOTE="dougduey, post: 1703513, member: 33159"] Wow, 940 yards!! I wouldn’t even attempt that. Too much to possibly go wrong for ME to feel confident at that range. I give you a lot of credit to be proficient at that range. You had to feel crappy when you found the Bull was still alive. I had a cow elk move just enough on me when I squeezed the trigger at 325 yards to ruin me for life. Late season cow hunt to fill the freezer. Spined her on that first shot. Closed the distance as fast as I could to put her out of her misery as I saw her try and get up. I felt terrible that she suffered a little bit. I know it’s part of hunting, but I don’t even want to go through that again. So, I practice a lot. I’ve taken classes to get better with my technique and to dope wind better. Still, I feel I owe it to the animal to be as lethal as possible with a first shot kill. Elk are my favorite and I really revere them. So, I use my 300 wsm or 338 Lapua (i shoot them both well) to give me, what I feel, is the biggest thump. [/QUOTE]
