[QUOTE="boomtube, post: 203303, member: 9215"] "Like Tyler Kemp said... the wind will blow any bullet. " Agreed. Perhaps I should have been more clear in my comment. I meant that, in my opinion, NO game shot should be taken at such ranges regardless of the bullet! There are simply to many unknown wind variables over such distances, a good hit is more luck than skill when those unknown winds come into play. Bergers are good hunting bullets, no question. But, how well does any such bullet perform with the low remaining velocity at such long ranges? Not enough to be reliable, again, in my opinion. Hunting, to me, is about hunting. If a shot is past 300 yards the hunter should get closer. Shots past 300 yards should be limited to paper targets and varmints. [/QUOTE]
