[QUOTE="Buck Buster, post: 1392596, member: 99718"] You have a lot more guts than me. I could never climb up something like that. I have relations in LA, going trough Alabama I remember seeing the mountains getting lower and lower as we drove. Like I said this type of hunting is high tec. and is not for everyone , a lot of people in PA don't consider this hunting, or fair chase. But it is something to see to believe . I am fascinated with it and have enough equipment to do long range hunting out to 1300 yards, at that distance I have shot oak leaves laying on the snow. I have my gun sighted in out to 1550 yards, at that distance I am out of scope adjustment with my Leupold VX 3, but I am not sure of the energy that is left, it still kicks up dirt that far but from 1500 yards to 1550 the bullet drops 6 feet. It is really slowing down at that distance; But out to 1300 yards it will smoke a rock and is still shooting pretty flat I would not be afraid to shoot anything this far. It is a 308 Norma Mag. and I shoot 178gr. Amax. I tried larger bullets and same sized(180 gr.) but this one shot the tightest group at 300 yards, averaged 2.5 inches, it is traveling at an average speed of 3225 fps. 76 grains of IMR 4831 checked it through a chronograph and this was the average speed of 5 shots. Good luck hunting and shooting in 2018. [/QUOTE]
