[QUOTE="Ian M, post: 86201, member: 25"] Joe, Dangerous game and long range are not words that most guides like to use in the same sentence... We discussed the potential of shooting dangerous game at longer range here a while back and there is a bunch of info and considerations. Try a search and hopefully you will find a good thread on this exact topic. I have used the .416 Rigby quite a bit and it is a powerful cartridge capable of turning the lights out very quickly. But, most guides and outfitters will not agree with shooting past 150-200 yards on dangerous game because they prefer the more confident shot placement of 75-100 yard shots. I know a great outfitter who is intrigued with the idea of killing Alaskan brown bears across salt-grass flats with a good shooting .50 BMG, but so far he has not tried that. Maybe others are doing this, have never heard of it tho. [/QUOTE]
