[QUOTE="Chadp82, post: 2069176, member: 114151"] Pick a gun and shoot it a lot and learn to shoot it well. More gun doesn’t make up for lack of ability. I am young in the mind of some here, but o have killed deer, elk, and sheep with 280 Remington. I have killed a lot of deer with 30-06. shot placement beats the hell out of “what gun” any day of the week. Also, know your ability. I personally limit myself to 450 yds in calm, 300 in windy. I know my rifles will give me a hit within a 6” circle at 40-50 mph winds. before my hunt this year at final rifle check, we had 60 mph wind. I put 3 cold bore in 4” at 200. Called it a day. The previous time I was 2” at 200, but with the wind it was a huge confidence boost right before the hunt! I don’t try to outshoot anyone else but myself. I know my limit and stick to it. I can ring steel at 800-1000 yds with my 280, but in hunting situations know my nerves and other things will get the best of me, so tell myself to stalk and get closer. [/QUOTE]
