[QUOTE="ceg1963, post: 72536, member: 4159"] Pop, Why "Hell No"? I am trying hard to understand why the thought of slamming a bear at longer ranges is so apprehensible to so many. I'd understand on a convetional forum, but not on the supposed Long Range Hunting web site. Again, done with the proper equipment and training, why should I be anymore bounded by range, than when hunting any other game species? I'm not talking about "spraying and preying" the poor critter to death! Hell I'm not even sure of what a max range looks like yet! That's why I started this thread... to be better educated to properly calculate that max range. Please don't tell me that I have to restrict myself to 200 or 300 yards max, just because most folks can't make the shot past that. Or simply can't handle the recoil generated by a rifle producing the required external ballistics to handle a large bear at the terminal ballistics end of the equation. I've about settled down to a .375 R.U.M. at no more than 500-600 yards. Now pile on. I want to put the Long... back in Long Range Hunting! CG [/QUOTE]
