[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 2253997, member: 12443"] Well again you seem to be hung up on the rifl (The system,) for shooting at animals at long distances requires more than a good gun and a good shooter. Regardless as to the quality/ability of both those, it isnt possible for a hunter/shooter to know (exactly) where his bullet struck an animal. Recoil alone wouldnt permit the shooter to recover in time to make that observation, especially with the type of shooting methods preferred by many hunters. A spotter sitting behind very good optics is the only way one can be assured as to where the hit was or wasent, and even then it isnt always guaranteed based on conditions at the time. Mind you im not advocating for people to be taking extreme distance shots at animals. But the fact remains that it has happened and happened with good results by some who were properly prepared to be doing it. And although both you and your gun might well be capable, you are still lacking, and will continue to be regardless of your bullet choice unless you employ the use of an experienced spotter for long range shooting at animals.
