[QUOTE="cronhelm, post: 935, member: 98"] Just wanted to let the listies know that I am going to get a chance to do some long-range hunting next week. A friend has secured a Cull Licence to take 40 deer off a large farm near Calgary. This friend is not on the Long-Range Hunting forumn but he is a dedicated long-range hunter and 1000 yd benchrest competitor. His rifle of choice is a 30-378. Unfortunately my .338 WM will not be ready so I am going to have to make do with the wife's Mod 70 in 30-06. As a result I am planning to limit shots to a maximum of 800 yds at first. If that goes well then 1000 yds may be within the capability of a 30-06 but I think that will be taxing the range of this cartridge to kill cleanly. Hopefully we will get another such opportunity next year once the .338 has been worked out. I will post results early next week. Well that is if there are any results to post. If I miss, I'm not gonna tell you guys about it. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] Peter Cronhelm [/QUOTE]
