[QUOTE="Lpart, post: 1381481, member: 25642"] I agree wholeheartedly. I have established a personal limit of 600 yards on wild game with perfect conditions and practice to that distance. Fun to shoot steel beyond that but in my mind the worst thing I can do is wound an animal. I am also not comfortable with the diminishing performance of most bullets at the longer ranges and slower velocities. We always here about the great shots, but how many near misses are there? The statistical analysis I have seen of accuracy at long ranges leads me to believe that the odds of a less than good shot are way too high. Off a half a minute at 800, 1000 etc will likely mean a wounded animal. Hopefully a miss but we can't guarantee that we will either miss or make a perfect hit and not wound. [/QUOTE]
