[QUOTE="JASmith, post: 1737050, member: 24844"] 400 yards is a good number for medium range. Check the wind drift for your rifle in a 5 & 10 mph crosswinds. For many rifles, the uncorrected drift takes the bullet out of the animal's vital zone by then. It is difficult to tell the difference between 'calm' and '5 mph' winds. Worse, too many of us fail to correct for wind drift even when we know it is windy. Hence, I recommend that most shooters keep a personal max range of about 300 yards but recognize that knowledge, practice, and the resulting skill can produce some amazingly long range game harvesting.
