[QUOTE="trhall, post: 2087362, member: 26233"] I hunt at longer ranges. My farthest kill has been a cow elk this year at 859 yards with a 300 WM and a 215 Berger at 3060 fps. I have found that people I talk to that know I shoot long range will sometimes brag about killing something at distance and ti usually goes something like this: " I shot my buck last year at 600 yards." Notice it's almost always a round/whole number. "Wow, that's a great shot. What were you shooting?" "My 30-06." "What's your drop at 600 yards?" "Oh, I held just over his back." "That must have been a pretty big buck. My 300WM, which shoots pretty flat has over 4 feet of drop at that distance. I'd never be able to make a shot like that without knowing the exact range and either dialing my turret or using my reticle." As most people on this forum know because they've put in the blood, sweat, and tears to get the right tools for the job and aquire the skills, it's pretty easy to tell the BS'rs from actual shooters quickly when they open their mouth.
