[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2022744, member: 115658"] Upon discussion with trusted advisors, I have revised my self imposed range limits for yotes down to 400 yards from just under horizon limits. I like my Leupold 2nd FP, 4.5-14X50 LRP, TMOA reticle, trust reticles more than elevation dialing, leave it on 14X. I have calibrated that scope with the 6.5, 120 H ELDM bullets at 3100 fps, out to 500 meters and plan to do more shooting up to 1000 yards and include other 130-140 bullets. My longest shot on a deer was just under 390 yards (not with 120 ELDM combo) and conditions were perfect, using bipod and sitting. I have shot various rodents up to just under 1,000 but it took a few bullets to hit them. I have shot several rattle snakes (dangerous game) at about 4 yards - need to hold over them about 1 inch plus and crank scope down to lowest power. Shot silhouette chickens at 1000 but it took at least 2 rounds to connect, using .260, 6.5-06, 7mm-08, & .300 WM, I would not do this on a game animal. [/QUOTE]
