[QUOTE="VLD Pilot, post: 2477661, member: 103947"] 2000 yards on game is extremely far not to mention the 3+ second travel time of the projectile to the game animal. Steel and paper targets don't move before bullet impact. In a 3 second window period, that can't be said with any game animal. Not trying to be the ELR ethics police but for me, that's just not a place I'd put myself in a hunting scenario. 1200 yards is plenty far on big game and in most scenarios, that's a bit far depending on the animal ( and the actual scenario).Pronghorns are jumpy. Elk and deer can offer this as well as big bears. Any of these animals can do a 180° turn in 3 seconds easily and not even from being spooked, just casually turning. I'd have to have a very high percentage guarantee that my impact will be in the vitals or I wouldn't take that shot. Nothing is 100% as things happen but I can control a huge percentage of it. Again not to be the ethics police, you decide what's "YOUR" too far, not me. To the post, any of the cartridges listed are good options for shooting to 2500 yards IMO. [/QUOTE]
