[QUOTE="teampete, post: 568943, member: 30258"] Wildrose, Thanks for the motivation! I feel a lot more confident about my shooting. My buddy (champion shooter) who was scoring the targets for me said at 600 yards I was holding about 3 inch groups so I was real happy with that. Going that extra 200 yards really takes more consistent shooting form. I have an elk hunt next week and the shot will most likely be a long range shot so I definetly feel my equipment can do the job and I personally have the confidence to make an 800 yard shot. I just loaded some more rounds for my hunt and was weighing every charge to a single granule! You are totally right that you dont have to have a 5000 dollar rifle to get the job done. Dont get me wrong it helps but I managed to set up a rifle with all new pieces for under 1k and it shoots pretty. Its a savage LRH with Vortex 6.5-20x50 with egw rail and burris tact rings. I purchased everything because of recomendation from everyone on this site. One question : Should I carry a few accubonds with me on the hunt incase I have a 200 yard or closer shot? I hear that the berger VLDs will blow threw an animal at short distances and only leave pin sized hole in the animal? Any recomendations? [/QUOTE]
