[QUOTE="Idaho Lefty, post: 2289509, member: 104437"] DITCH the "Cannon",.. you WILL, learn to shoot better,.. AFTER the "Flinch" goes, away ! Lots of "Good" Calibers that will still be going, "Fast enough" at, 600- 700- 800 Yards for the Bullet to, "open up" and Kill Elk ! The .280's, 7mm-08, .284 Win. and 7 Rem mag with, 168 Berger HVLDS, ( or, comparable ) and a near Max Powder chg, are still flying FAST, way, WAY out there ! And "maybe", you could TRY to get, a little,. CLOSER than,.. 1,000 yards ? The, bigger and FASTER, 6.5's, the .270's with, 140's / 150's etc. And DON'T forget the ole', .30-06 with, good high BC, 165's / 180's loaded, STIFF , all can do "well" at, the more "reasonable" ranges ! EXAMPLE, my .270 WSM Tikka at, 7 lbs, 10 ounces, 24" bbl with, 140 Berger, Classic Hunters, starting at, 3,185 FPS, IS still going OVER, 2,000 FPS at, 800 yards and, I can, shoot IT,.."well" as, my .338 Win Mag "Flinch", IS,.. finally,.. GONE ! OOP's,.. I forgot that, this is, a "Long Range" Forum,.. my BAD ! Anything OVER, 500 Yards in, the "Field" is, "Long Range", to ME, tho ! [/QUOTE]
