[QUOTE="Autorotate, post: 605997, member: 8073"] Rich...I agree with what I think the point of your post is....BC isn't everything. Folks need to do an honest assesment of what the maximum distances are going to be that they actually break a shot with the crosshairs on game.....and then build thier whole approach/system towards that goal. My personal philosophy is that you need to hit the target/game first, and then worry about terminal performance......BUT....an honest assesment of your intended/anticpated ranges will assit in vetting out whether 1-3" of wind drift at those intended ranges merits hunting with a "match" bullet vs a "hunting" bullet. I agree with you, in that it would be easy for a "new" LR Hunter to be drawn into the sensationalism of making LRH shots....without realizing what all went into making those 1200+ yd shots. I'll admit....I was one of them...after a successful ELR hunting shot, and that while it was a one shot DRT kill.......I wish I could have it back. BC isn't everything.....don't get tunnel vision on making the 1% shot...do an honest assesment of the ranges you're going to hunt at....build your approach to those goals for the 90% opportunities.....and don't forget to keep it fun! Broz-Awesome bear hunt/story! [/QUOTE]
