[QUOTE="Sam Pace, post: 1657622, member: 110365"] In our age of LR hunting popularity it is common for hunters to attempt extreme LR shots based on practice and ballistics data. There are other variables. One very important variable is the movement of the animal. Our metal targets don’t randomly take a step or get spooked by something. Another variable is your ability to locate a shooting position that secures an accurate shooting platform. Wind and elevation and temperature are also variables to consider. I shoot a 7mm Rem mag set up for LR shooting. I’m competent on metal targets out to 1800 yards. After considering the variables for LR hunting I have set my own imposed limit at 400 yards. I don’t feel too bad when I clip or miss a metal target. I feel horrible when I have been negligent and wounded an animal who will suffer and perhaps die unrecovered. Just my own personal opinion and limitation. [/QUOTE]
