[QUOTE="DocUSMCRetired, post: 1282398, member: 85458"] The reason Ts/ss is such a great number is because you want to include all shooters. They shouldn't need to go drop 20K on a system just to participate. With the Ts/ss rule anyone can take any rifle in their safe, and have an opportunity to give a real go. This doesn't limit it to those that are wealthy, or have the budget for an impractical toy (I mean really who carries around a 150lb rifle). The other issue with giving it a "distance" is that so many people provide so many distance answers that coming to an agreement would be near impossible. Seriously, if you saw the responses, some of them over complicate it to the point its insane. By using the Ts/ss rule its very simple. Either you proofed your skill level and the bullet through one of the toughest zone for a bullet to work, or you didn't. This is my opinion on the matter. Ts/ss designation allows for flexibility, allows for everyone to participate, and allows for that zone to move based on technology. If cartridges in 2 years are pushing limits that today was not easy with reliability, that barrier transitions with technology. [/QUOTE]
