[QUOTE="Broz, post: 897679, member: 7503"] Yes, do shoot what you want and know how to use it and place it properly. Good point. And Yes, we have read your posts and realize you are opposed to long range shots and have heard you state your opinion that long range is not hunting. But what I am a bit confused about is why you choose a forum called "Long Range Hunting" to converse on. Is it because you feel a need to state your negative opinion of it, and will have more opportunity to impose your thoughts, self imposed limits and lack long range skill on others here? Why not find a site where you can be among others that prefer your type of hunting and share friendly communication there. Might be more fun than all the negative posts on a site that is for exactly what you are against. Just a thought. Actually in an attempt to add some useful insight to this thread. I disagree about getting closer with a high velocity fragmenting bullet would have helped in the case of this thread. I believe, actually the fact is, if this same shot and placement would have been from another 200 or 300 yards out the performance of the bullet would have been much different. Scrubbing off a little velocity when using a small for caliber offering with a MV of over 3100 fps could easily have resulted in deeper and maybe full penetration. At least full penetration into the vitals and a broken shoulder. I still would prefer a heavier offering for this shot. Lighter offerings, at closer distances with high velocity, into the thickest and hardest part of the animal is shall we say setting the stage for "the perfect storm". Jeff [/QUOTE]
