[QUOTE="RichCoyle, post: 2889327, member: 127134"] Originally this was a long range hunting forum. Now it has that name, but everyone and his brother come here. The guy who will not shoot his rifle farther than 300 yards does not need the absolute best load his rifle can produce. My longest rock chuck was 527 yards away. My longest deer shot was 274 yards and my longest elk shot was exactly 400 yards. The elk was killed with a guaranteed 2MOA rifle. I knew I could hit withing 4" of aiming spot at 400 yards, so laid down over a berm, which was as steady as a benchrest, and aimed at the center of the chest. The Nosler 160 partition took off the top of the heart and destroyed the arteries. For the Eastern hunter, these ranges are "long range". But for the folks on this sight, these were all short to very short ranges. Never-the-less, I enjoyed them. In fact, I remember getting buck fever over a three point buck I killed. I posted a photo of it with its smallish rack. One of our .com friends bragged and posted a photo of his "long range" killed monster four point buck. I asked him if he got buck fever and he said, "No." "Then I had more fun than you," I responded. [/QUOTE]
