[QUOTE="82ndreddevil, post: 595403, member: 36912"] Yea you are right there is a difference in what elevation you shoot at. All my hunting is around 10K, and yea you do retain high velocities for longer distances. The round I was using to compare anyway to the 223 was a 180 grain Accubond by Federal. But honestly, a 1/2 mile? It sounds more like your talking about shooting at a rifle range and not hunting in the field. Shooting off a back pack is different then off of a bench. My RX1000 only reads to 650yards anyways. At the range my Sendero can hit pretty far, but that does not mean I should shoot at animals that far. My reason is that if I am at the range I know the exact distance, if I am hunting it is usually an estimation, and at some ranges if your off by 50 yards you will miss. My last elk hunt there was an outfitter camp hunting on public land and they took their clients out on the low lands where they were just shooting at bulls way out there. All they did is just make tons of noise spoiling the morning for responsible and hunters that are working for their bulls. [/QUOTE]
