[QUOTE="lerch, post: 128826, member: 3115"] Well i tried to post on this thread at the very beginning but for some reason it didnt take, we'll see if it works this time. I think the true definintion of long range is different for each of us. Personnally i think around 400yds is where true long range begins since most people i know sight there rifles in so that at around 400yds they only have to aim a little over the back of a deer to make the hit. I think this is where you must start intelligently compensating for bullet drop, not ol' kentucky windage. My personal limit is around 800yds where i feel comfortable but i am pretty confident out to 1000yds. If the day is very calm with a good range and as long as BJ has exbal with him I would take a shot past 1k but it would have to be a perfect situation. I keep a very accurate drop chart out to 1k in my ocular scope cap and all i have to change is if it is really cold I need to add in a click or 2 past 900yds. Bravo 4, congrats on the buck and be careful bud. take it easy steve [/QUOTE]
