[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 2253136, member: 12443"] Well for what its worth, many years ago means different things to different people, depending upon age and when they themselves became involved. But if we were to go back say 50 years for example there were in fact a considerable number of long range hunters, at least in some areas of the country. But what there wasent back in those days were any Berger bullets being used because there werent any. And the fact is there were SMKs, and lots and lots of various type animals were killed with them at some very long distances. Including one by a very good friend about 25 years ago, a cow Elk at 2000 yds with a 220 gr SMK shot from a long barrel 30/378. A human spotter on that scope as opposed to a recording device would have been the proper choice, and might well have caused a follow up shot for the poorly placed first one. The problem was caused by the system you used and not the bullet. [/QUOTE]
