[QUOTE="epoletna, post: 1753426, member: 87371"] I should have added to the last sentence: "at medium ranges." Don't use the 7mm Mauser at 1000 yards. It is possible, but there are better choices. On the other hand, other considerations come into play at extreme range: can you really tell if you made a good hit at that range? How long will it take you to reach the animal's last known position in order to see if there is a blood spoor? How far will a wounded animal travel in the time it takes you to go that distance? Long range hunting comes with its own set of considerations. Please keep them in mind. [/QUOTE]
