[QUOTE="Stgraves260, post: 1962341, member: 19988"] If I’m understanding your question correctly it’s like when people buy large magnum rifles. Say a 300 WM ( it’s pretty popular ). I ask them what do you hunt? They say deer. I reply oh sweet long range hunter like myself. This can go on and on. Most hunter shoot under 100 yards. I have guided hunts for quit some time now. All the feeders that are set up the owner of the property limits our set up at a max of 200 yards. It’s cool whatever the owner wants. I seen more people with 300 WM than any other rifle. Then when they ask me what I shoot I tell them 260 Remington. I have dropped deer over 700 yards, elk just under 1000 yards, coyotes well over 1000 yards my furthest hog was taken at 997 yards all with my 260 Rem 140 grain Burger bullets. And people still think they need a 300 WM and 200 grain bullets to drop deer at 200 yards. All the guides I worked with here in Texas use 243s, 22-250,270, 7-08 and 25-06. We used to talk all the time with the hunters while they picked our brains and our caliber selection. My best response was if I can take a elk at 1000 yards W/ a 260 Rem then why would I even consider a 300 WM for shots under 200 yards on deer. [/QUOTE]
