[QUOTE="BrianID, post: 1949821, member: 104589"] If you really want to shoot at 300+ yards, you really need to get out and shoot your gun at the ranges you plan on attempting to kill an elk. If you don’t verify your drop and practice shooting your rifle in field conditions, you are more likely to wound an elk at 400 yards than kill an elk, even if you can shoot 1/4” groups at 100 yards from a bench. See if you can find a range you can make it to in the next 2 months or you will have to it in Idaho. Once you get to Idaho there is plenty of BLM and Forest service land that you can shoot at 200, 300 or 400 yards. Take a few practice shots before your hunt and see what you are really capable of and limit your shot distance on an elk accordingly. Getting set up for a longer shot in field conditions takes guys who haven’t practiced it more time than it should, so you should practice that as well. [/QUOTE]
