[QUOTE="Jack R Tishue Jr, post: 1586816, member: 109081"] I acknowledg these things, been using them for more years than some of the posters on here been alive. But that doesn't make a good shot out of anyone. Nor does it make an Elk cartridge out of a groundhog cartridge. I just don't believe MOST , say 99.4% of shooters out there could hit anything at 800 yds. let alone the kill area on an Elk. To those who can, great. I'm just concerned that a lot of people going out there, shooting beyond their capabilities, and even then, not using a round that will do the trick, say like a 340 Wby or something. An 06 not really a long range round, so how's a 6.5C or 260 Rem. one. Just concerned about people using a capable round. From what I'm reading, lots of folks don't really know what their round will do at these ranges. How may Elk you killed at extended ranges? Like I said, less about shooting at that range than being able to do so competently, and "using enough gun". [/QUOTE]
