[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 630013, member: 39764"] I voted 1000+ as well.... but it all depends on the firearm and the conditions. I too have a 338 amongst others., probably too many according to the wife.....:) You basically have 24 inches between the backbone and the leg so anything in that area with proper kenitic energy and expansion will do the deed and I've never seen a deer drop right in it's tracks at distance. They always continue on, hopefully, for a short distance at best. My 308 I would limit the shot to 500 maximum however. We typically don't see that range up here. The area we hunt in is wooded so a long range shot is pretty much out of the question. Most shots here are less than 250 yards, sometimes, much less. I would be hesitant at any long range shot offhand and most of our shots here are offhand, like in the woods and flush a bambi..... [/QUOTE]
