[QUOTE="cabelasken, post: 2698978, member: 117774"] I too I also keep my max range to between 5 and 600 yds, depending on the circumstances and conditions although I believe I can stretch that another 200 yds with ideal conditions I don't try to make those shots. My custom rifles are capable and they are of calibers that can take game at extreme ranges, but when an opportunity presents itself at under 500 yds, I have confidence that we will soon be dragging a game animal out of the mountain. I have seen the difference between a 2300+ FPS impact and a 1900 FPS impact and the effect on the animal and know that the higher impact velocity is significant. This year I had the opportunity to watch my son in law and a friend stalk a small herd of elk that was 900 yds from where we were parked. The guide and the two hunters had to navigate some small undulations in the terrain for almost a mile to get within 175 yds of their quarry. I got to see the whole thing from a perfect vantage point where I kept the hunters and herd in full sight the whole time. A couple of shots and we were cleaning elk 30 minutes later. [/QUOTE]
