[QUOTE="Westernhuntr, post: 1827016, member: 112648"] I think the problem is that long range shooting is getting extremely popular, and there are guys who think because they can hit steel at 1200 yards it's perfectly good to squeeze one off on game animals. I've been shooting LR for over a decade, I practice out to 1400 regularly and still won't take a 1200 yard shot. I've killed a bull just under 1k in perfect conditions but prefer not to. If you shoot long range enough you know there's a lot that can go wrong, most people have no business shooting animals that far. I hate to even think about all the deer and elk that die in some hole after taking a bullet in the guts or leg because some idiot thought he was a sniper. If a person truly feels they can ethically kill an elk at 1200 yards then at least use an appropriate chambering (which a 7mm is not). [/QUOTE]
