[QUOTE="VLD Pilot, post: 1586549, member: 103947"] BS... All those are your opinions not facts. We all have opinions. Facts are what hunters produce. I've produced dozens of big game including elk kills at well beyond 400 yards. No excitement, no out if breath, no rapid heart beat and plenty of time to set up a bipod, relax, glass for the opportunity and take time waiting for the ideal shot position. You forgot the most important factors...environmental conditions ( Wind, temperature, Pressure, Elevation). That plays a bigger role than readiness. Yes...we long range hunters have that figured out too. I'm thinking that you must figure most long range shooters/ hunters here are a bunch of Jethro Bodine's with lever guns. Also that we are very unethical when it comes to harvesting big game animals. I've never considered taking a less than perfect( IMO) shot at an animal even at 100 yards let's alone 800. Everyone's skill set is very different from another. Make no assumptions regarding that distinction. Just as stated above with experience killing dozens of elk knowing which cartridge works best. Experience means everything. Theory doesn't. Yes, there are many better options for elk than a 6.5 Creedmoor.
