[QUOTE="nicholasjohn, post: 1762934, member: 109113"] I know what you mean, Sir. Several decades ago, I and my buddies were all in the practice of shooting woodchucks during the summer in western Pennsylvania. Our excuse was that we needed to practice with our deer rifles ( mostly 308's ) but mostly, we just liked to shoot woodchucks. It was great fun, and we had a ball doing it. Then one day my uncle went to a crow shoot, and won a prize. It was a rifle that he had no use for, but when he went to pick it up at the gun shop, the guy offered him a Remington 700 in 22-250 instead. Boy did that ever change things on our woodchuck hunts ! All of a sudden, we were all quoting from ballistics charts, and we were stretching the limits of our capabilities to ranges we had never operated at before. This was all from adding 1000 fps to the velocity of our bullets. One has to wonder - would adding another 1000 fps make the same difference all over again ??? [/QUOTE]
