[QUOTE="Holycity73, post: 1670016, member: 106526"] I have read my fair share of opinions regarding reasonable shots in game. My long shots are 300-400 yards max in fields. In the trees, the shots are more like 30-100 yards at best. My question is this: With the availability of modern cartridges and optics as well as ballistic calculators etc, what would a maximum reasonable shot be for a hunter with today’s equipment? This is an idealist proposition, so imagine the planets aligning for the shot and the shooters ability being a better than average (like all of us on this forum;)). Please cite cartridge and maximum reasonable range in your opinion. Let’s not include game shredding projectiles, 338L or the like. This little exercise is for hunting. Ex. 28 Nosler 600 yards because... Remember, This one is all about your opinions regarding your ideal cartridge. Again, this is all opinion! What say you?! [/QUOTE]
