[QUOTE="Alex Wheeler, post: 1498039, member: 101859"] Ethics and facts are separate things. A fact would be what is the max distance you are 100% sure you can connect the first time, every time. Thats a great topic for discussion. Ballistics and accuracy get discussed, but rarely to I see discussions of wind reading or the finer points of accuracy that come into play at longer ranges. Sorting bullets by ogive shape, sorting cases, primers, ext all start to really show up at 1k and beyond. The only real ethical discussion when it come to LR hunting is whether a hunter is willing to take shots at a distances farther than he is 100% confidant in. If a guy is willing to walk in shots and wound game before killing it, thats ethics and I dont want to talk about that. So lets talk about what it takes to hit a small target every time at 1300 yards, because it takes a lot! Mainly I want to know how to make cold bore wind calls at that range. What kind of vertical is your load holding at 1300 for 5 shots? How did those sierras sort? Been wanting to try them. The only time there is a ban on a discussion, I have a feeling someone wants to hide something. [/QUOTE]
