[QUOTE="Dr. Vette, post: 770717, member: 22335"] I read the article, and thought that in many ways the article was the best one I've seen in a general hunting magazine in a long time with regard to long range shooting and hunting. Many magazines lambaste anyone who shoots over 300 yards - and based on watching many hunters who show up at the local rifle range that may be a good idea. :D I think his point was that ammo was a lot better than it used to be, and rifles are in general much more accurate. You might end up with a winning combination with regard to accuracy but many here - including myself - have found that our handloads will beat any factory ammunition tried in our rifles. Your odds, though, are [I][B]much [/B][/I]better than they used to be in getting rifle + ammo = accuracy when buying off the shelf. PS. I didn't put that issue in the waiting room yet. [/QUOTE]
