[QUOTE="Dave King, post: 36350, member: 3"] Trader388 I don't think there'll be a problem with your question as originally asked, the hunting model "mule deer". The biggest problem as I see it will be the interpretation, "What is he asking and what are MY various limiters?". The original as I recall was a mule deer vice target and the use of a "spotter round" before the shot. The method(s) used by folks here vary, I for example do not use a spotter round. I'm a FRH (First Round Hit) guy so the question was originally out of my category/permissible conditions. I have a self imposed 650 yard limit on big game shots. For varmints I have no yardage limit and this also applies to targets of any type. The three (3) ballistic examples you offer will far exceed the 650 yard performance requirement(s) for any big game hunting I do so 650 is the limit on them in the hunting mode provided I've made the commitment to shoot based on other considerations, wind, animal (presentation), etc, etc. For target and varmint shooting I'd probably be using these at distances limited only by optics and available elevation of the sighting system, certainly 1500 yards and more. There is no weather limiter on targets other than my ability to see the target... if conditions are "bad" it's a lessons session in that weather type. [/QUOTE]
