[QUOTE="sambo3006, post: 185949, member: 2740"] Dang it alex, you ruined a perfectly good debate by pointing out that the original post was 3 1/2 yrs old!--just kidding. Good stuff here. I think that there is a line that separates true long range shots and it probably starts between 500 and 600 yds. Out to 500 yds, some sort of quick holdover system works great with a very flat round like the 7 RUM. Wind isn't much of a factor out to there unless it is pretty strong. One could probably get away with just holding into the wind if you are familiar with how much drift you get in a light to moderate wind. Out past 500 yds (in my limited experience) is when the steepening trajectory and more importantly the effects of wind on a bullet really start to increase. I would definitely not feel comfortable engaging an animal at 600 yds and farther without intimate knowledge of the POI in varying conditions, and that could only come from lots of shooting. [/QUOTE]
