[QUOTE="Jay Kyle, post: 1003365, member: 347"] Yeah that's it. Case in point.. Two weeks ago we were hunting Moose with a fellow up from Georgia - recently retired US Army - touting anything inside 1000 yards was his. He was having one of those days. He was taking shots with a .30-06 at 400 yards at Moose. By the end of it he had wounded two moose, shot at three, took 7 shots, and had borrowed three different rifles to try and anchor at least one of them and got nothing - it was a disaster. Certainly bullet placement and a faulty semi-auto were his biggest issues - but the ones he wounded may not have gone further and gotten lost if a harder hit had occurred - hard to tell. [/QUOTE]
