[QUOTE="kazoo, post: 12519, member: 3006"] Unfortunately I don't have the area to regularly practice at long distance. A majority of my practice will be at 100 & 200 yards. Occasionally I will be able to shoot at 3-500 yard distances. If I move into the wide open spaces out west, things would change. I don't have near term plans to do so, so I search for the cartridge that will meet my current and future known needs. I basically want a cartridge that I don't have to aim like an artillery cannon in the event that I have a shot at 350 or 400 yards. At this time I don't anticipate a tremendous number of hunts out west so that six point bull elk that I may happen upon that's 400 yards on the other side of the canyon may be the once in a lifetime opportunity that I would have. I wouldn't want to take that shot with a marlin guide gun in 45-70 so I am looking for that "perfect" cartridge for my needs. That's why I'm asking in this forum. I don't need a round that will be effective at 800 yards but one that will be more forgiving due to any errors on my part... [/QUOTE]
