[QUOTE="Brewer, post: 958965, member: 71923"] Harper, I see your first shot point. an of course I suppose we all know that bigger bullets slow down and drift less than lighter bullets. because of that I see your points using heaver hitting calibers as long range killers. maybe I said this already, but I do have a 300WM that I enjoy shooting now that it is ported and have killed lots of Deer with it. as a matter of fact, I just about shot 2 with one shot last year, but failed to do so. I would have not tried that with a .243! I suppose this boils down to a difference in philosophy. Because my first rifle was the 300WM, and I grew up on the crushing recoil of it, and then was able to fire a .25-06 a few years later, I realized that I could shoot more than one box on a Saturday!! having said that, I see that there would be some lure in the big boys at really long ranges, I guess I haven't gotten that far yet, but it may be coming. for now, I am still trying to jut get a 1000 yard kill. cheers!
