[QUOTE="Ian M, post: 102807, member: 25"] [b]Re: a nitwit view on longrange hunting[/b] Guys, This has the potential to become a time-waster that does absolutely nothing for this site. Please let this one die a natural death as of now, so the moderator-type dudes don't have to press the button. If I try to use the NUKEing power empowered to me - a bunch of innocent people might lose their favorite posts, or worse. This stuff comes and goes, let's stick with the real reason this site exists. By the way, I shot long yesterday in minus 15 degrees C. Darned if our favourite .308 ammo wasn't showing the effect of the cold - tad over two minutes at 700 yards from our summer come-up. That is over two feet [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] So... does that mean it is unethical to get your ammo cold, or unethical not to switch from a .308 Win. to a .300 Win. mag in cold weather, or that you need to have your head-read for being out in that weather trying to shoot tight groups [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img] **** it gets cold fast in the late afternoon. What were we trying to accomplish - reticle tests on a brand new design intro'd at the SHOT show, I get to write the destruction manual. [/QUOTE]
