[QUOTE="Richard Teague, post: 1973462, member: 107710"] I fell as far as ability to kill pretty far out there a real limiting factor is time of flight, takes half a second for your bullet to get 500-550 yards out there. It doesn't take much movement to turn your shot into something less than desired. I shot an antelope out at the 500 yard line in a huge swath of green sagebrush that in parts was up to 3 feet tall. When I shot the antelope dropped and my friend and I both saw it drop. Well after crossing a 20 foot deep ditch we came up and could not figure out exactly where in that huge area of identical sagebrush the antelope lay. Took three hours to find it and we climbed up on 3 different almost high enough points. While shooting way out there can be done it has it's limitations. [/QUOTE]
