[QUOTE="Darryl Cassel, post: 3143, member: 34"] RR Yes at 1600 the Tomahawk is still going 1458 FPS and carries 1134 Foot ponds with it at that range. Keep in mind, Ray Romain (I hunted with in Colorado) got his deer at 1800 yards this year and the foot pounds of energy was only 800. His rifle was a 36" barreled 338/375 H&H IMP. A small mag case compaired to the Tomahawk or 378 Weatherby case. It really is just an improved 300 Weatherby that is necked up to a 338 diameter. After the 3 spotter shots over the deer, the "first" shot which was held dead on the shoulder killed it. The bullet hit the shoulder right where he was holding the scope crosshair. Most people have NO idea what their rifles are capable of if you practice and learn what it will do, long BEFORE the hunting season arrives. We shoot all the time so long shots are our favorite. I would rather get an inferior buck or bull elk at 1500 yards plus, then a trophy at 400 or 500 yds. The closer shots are to easy for the equipment we have. I guess you could say, we (my hunting frinds and I) are died in the wool extreme LR hunters. To each his own in the hunting fields though. Just hunt to your self imposed ranges before trying to go to the extreme like we do. We have been doing this for MANY years. DC DC [/QUOTE]
