[QUOTE="NorthernWhitetails, post: 1173314, member: 42810"] Now your talking...................... West Cliff! The Bergers are a whole different ballgame. This is the exact reason I HAD to get away from my old .223 toooooooo many run offs being made over my bait at exactly 300 yds, smaller coyotes 15/25 lbs hit correctly no problem, Big X_wind and Big Dogs 35lb and up poorly hit, HUGE problem , animals running all over the place! Same thing with my .243 out to 300 yds with a 70gr Varmageddon usually ok, but even it at is not as good for me as the 25/06 with the 90gr BlitzKings are at 3500fps. They all run out of gas at some point............... your little AI would be right at the heels of the 06 though.... Its just like watching all the outdoor shows on TV nowadays, and they are constantly showing someone shooting a monster moose or bull elk over a thousand yards away ???? They show the shot, and a hit,[you have no way of knowing how many times they launched one to try and dope the wind correctly] then 99% of the time; the footage is spliced to them walking up to it , Why because at that distance the big magnum is outta gas as well, most of the guns they are using would have WAY less than 1200 ft lbs of energy at 12/1500 yds........ some of Way less than 1000ft lbs .......... Here are some numbers , a 7mm Rem Mag shooting a 162gr bullet with a starting vel of 3100fps has slowed down to 1600fps at 1000yds and only has 1000 ft lbs of energy left ????? Come on who really shoots a 1000 lb animal with a gun that is hitting it with 6-800 ft lbs of energy??? This formula has gotten WOUNDED written all over it. So most of the time either the animal staggers around wounded until they can get over there and finish it off, but showing that on TV isn't going to sell custom rifles or scopes with compensating dails on them................... hey but it looks good!!!!
