[QUOTE="tony d willIiams, post: 2824182, member: 108777"] Out practicing with friends, some believe they are great shots. I will leave pistols out of this. I let them use my rifles and my reloads. I refuse to use their reloads. Targets set at 60 & 100 yards. Occasionally to 1/4 mile. They are great with my 22LR, 22WMR, 30-30, 308, and not so my 338LM. They can small circles with 22s, 6" spreads with 30-30, 308. Lucky to hit paper with the 338LM, it makes holes within the size of a quarter at 1/4 mile with varying crosswinds. They are afraid of the larger rounds. I would not take them hunting anything larger than a rabbit. Too many times I have been called over to track wounded animals, and get them where they can kill the wounded animal. Shot placement works, a large bullet you cannot shoot properly is useless. Some shoot the magnum, keep repeating "I know how to shoot", then have a bruise they will never forget. And refuse to shoot the rifle properly, or again. [/QUOTE]
