[QUOTE="dicktaylor, post: 211016, member: 8547"] Here's where I am now - I have made clean kills on deer and antelope out to 450 yards using a .270 Winchester with 3x9 scope and accubond or ballistic tip bullets. I shoot prone, over a rest or off sticks. The rifle has a decent aftermarket adjustable trigger that I can set at 1 1/2 pounds. It is an over the counter hunting rifle - nothing fancy. It groups 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 inch off bags at 200 yards. The longest gun range available is 200 yards. I'd like to shoot on a 600 yard range but that isn't in the cards. I lack wind doping skills so am not confident to shoot at long range in windy conditions. I would need practice in wind before shooting at game. I'm not a magnum fan - bad shoulder limits my shooting to the standard cartridges. I would like the capability of shooting to 600 yards on deer. [/QUOTE]
