[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1733902, member: 54178"] Interesting thread and brings up a topic that I never thought to address on a guided hunt. Since I compete at up to 1,095 yards on steel 1 MOA targets I would mention to the guide BEFORE BOOKING what [B]I thought[/B] my max range was on a given animal. For example with my 6.5 PRC Hornady 143 gr. ELD-X ammo I'd give the following max ranges I'd shoot on a clear day with 10 mph or less wind. ->antelope - 900 yards ->deer - 700 yards ->elk, male or female - 300 yards With those ranges I'm considering my own ability, my cartridge's energy and my rifle's inherent accuracy. (My X-Bolt Pro with the above cartridge easily gets 7/8" at 200 yards.) I have a BUSHNELL 4.5-18 X 44 LRTS scope that's good at a 1,095 yard target on a clear day. It has an illuminated G3 reticle for darker, cloudier days. [/QUOTE]
