[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 263322, member: 12443"] 45 years ago, the 6.5x300 wby. with the 139 gr. norma b.t. bullet was king of the hill for long range pa. deer hunting. today, they practibly dont exist. certainly practice is a very important item. 5 deer with 5 shots is a feat to be proud of. as for wind, give me the name of the item that will give speed way over there. even 1/3 way over there. its very common for experienced 1000 target shooters to shoot a small group followed by a large group. or even miss the target completly during gusty conditions. those conditions can also cause a miss, or a poorly placed shot for many of us while hunting. waiting for better conditions usually isnt an option. i personaly think more energy is better than less, especially from cartridges that equal or surpass in velocity. finally, i think its important to share our opinions, but more importantly our experiences, both good and bad.
