[QUOTE="toddc, post: 715717, member: 4566"] Uhhhh if you hit a whitey in the body with a 300 smk and you can't recover it you should work on tracking skills a lot more than shooting skills or internet flaming skills. Sounds like you maybe havent seen hundreds die from those rounds. I know its not popular to downgrade shot placement etc but a 338 at 1k and less is just a nasty deal and I have seen hundreds of stuff killed that could have lived with a 300. Is it possible to lose one? Sure. Also possible at 10 yds. Also reading comprehension might help. I stated that with a spotter a 1000 yd kill is easy for the SHOOTER and not the person who built the system to do it with. I can take any one who can pull a trigger and put them on a railgun with my data calls and whack deer at 1000 yds. Teaching someone to do it themselves in my opinion is impossible anyway. LRH done right is a team sport. I would never have stated what I stated anywhere else but here where I expect members to be aware of what is possible with a good spotter and system. And yes I am terrified of the weekend warriors with FACTORY AMMO and drop charts taped to a sendero who are griping about the cost of 3 whole boxes of some premium ammo. Both of my posts were meant to convey the fact that a person with a qualified spotter and VERY specialized system can kill stuff reliably at 1k. As long as the spotter knows his stuff and the weapon/data/equipment are on then killing at 1k is nothing for the shooter. Shooting is easy. Calling a shot and developing the system and equipment to do it is not. [/QUOTE]
