[QUOTE="Wetwrk, post: 2432085, member: 27786"] Have a dear friend who got me into this long range stuff...did it with a creedmore and a 600yard gong. Over the past four years I"ve been practicing, reloading for better than pie plate size pattern at 100 yards. I got better rifle's and optics. Ballistic apps, the works. It didn't dawn on me til last season this friend of mine walked in all his shots on steel. Sure 1000 yard hits but they were spotted and walked in every time. Now that does me zero good hunting. I need first shot, cold bore killing hit. I have to really consider now a animal taking one step as my round is on the way. On step plus a little breeze and I'm ruined. I won't do it. If I can't get closer to make it a sure thing, I just wave to'em. As a ranch kid, I've had to put down calves, horses, bulls, and sadly a few dogs and cats. It wrecks me for weeks. It'd be the same for me to loose a wounded game animal but I think it'd be worse. -WW On a side note I just hammered a yote yesterday at 250 on the trot with my 6.5PRC. Really liking that rifle.
