[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 1747083, member: 68875"] I drew a premium AZ deer tag a "few" years ago. 6 hour one-way trip to get there, but during a couple scouting trips, I realized that shots would more than likely be across at least one canyon. From 300-600+. My longest rifle shot before that was about 150 with a .270WIN. Well, those scouting trips got me going down the LR path. Bought a .300RUM the minute they hit the market. Started handloading for it right away. I ended up shooting my buck that year at 70 yards....of course. But the hook was set. After 34 years of rifle hunting, I only have 3 shots over 200 yards personally at big game. Pronghorn at 445, mule deer at 488, and elk at 662. 80% have been under 100, with probably 2/3 of those under 50 yards. But, I am ready for the long shot if needed. I have numerous shots well over 1000 on varmints. If I could draw some tags, the numbers might go up for big game.... [/QUOTE]
