[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 2451464, member: 54178"] 1.) Cartridge Dependent -> is your 223 good at 400 yards on elk? (NOPE!) 2.) Rifle/Scope Dependent-> Is your rifle accurate enough and is your scope giving you all you need? 3.) Shooter Competence Dependent-> Are you PRACTICED at long range shooting with your [I]hunting[/I] rifle? 4.) Conditions Dependent-> Is it very windy? is it a high angle shot at which you have to guess less hold-over? 5.) Game Dependent-> I'll shoot at an antelope at 900 yards with my 6.5 PRC Browning X-bolt Pro and Bushnell Elite 4.5 - 18 x 44 LRTS scope and 147 gr. Hornady ELD-X ammo IF conditions are nearly perfect. Add a 10 mph wind and no, I won't try it. And no, I won't shoot at any elk at over 400 yards with that ammo/rifle/scope combination. I state these ranges for big game even though I am confident at hitting MOA size (10" x 10") targets at over 1,000 yards from a bench or prone off the bipod with my 6.5 Creedmoor competition rifle. Humane kills is my guide. [/QUOTE]
