[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 1690715, member: 12443"] Well on behalf of my old friend Bo, let me try to explain what he meant. There is a major difference between accuracy, as in hitting a target where you aimed, and lobbing lead to great distances because your scope setup allows you to do that. We can sit in the stands watching runners compete, and pick out the best runners. That’s not to say the others wont finish the race, but it does mean they wont be winners. Likewise you can sit on a mountainside, and by using the type of great tripod mounted optics Bo has, you can pick the winners and losers as they fly across the wide valleys on way to the target. The further away the target is, always means the ones having the most powder will always win, its just that simple. Now if we enjoy creating a sport out of seeing who among the losers might win a target match given a chance to do so, could be a different subject. But guys like Bo whose only interest in all this is hunting, will only have but 2 weeks in a whole year in which to do that. So the fact that conditions aren’t really suitable today for the lesser cartridges, might also mean those conditions might last for his entire season. Ask any experienced L/R hunter, regardless as to where he lives or hunts, about his opinion on using a 300 Win mag for extreme distance hunting or shooting, and see what answer you get. And fact is, the sign over the door of this site says Long Range Hunting. So it only stands to reason you will get negative reactions to these type of topics. [/QUOTE]
