[QUOTE="crowsnest2002, post: 584271, member: 20192"] I think the point most of these gentlemen on here are using is the variable. At extended distances its pretty much down to killing the animal as humanely as possible. If your bullet hits bones, ie ribs it will definately perform differently than just going through soft tissue. Also what hunting situations can be guaranteed to pose long distance shooting all the time? Nature always has a way of throwing the unknown into the equation. I do not have much right to tell someone else they should do this or that, but it is my responsibility to make sure the animal is taken as humanely as possible. The gentlemen you are referring to that brag about these killings are probably not using the right type of bullets to take these animals. Using something that will deliver maximum killing power coupled with expansion appropriate for the hunted animal is what I prefer. To each his own I guess. Personally I dont have any larger caliber weapons than a .308 win , but for the distances I shoot I dont have much need for more than this. I also realize my limits with this round. For a long story short, you cant use a 220 grain bullet and expect it not to go through a whitetail at 100 yards. I guess thats my rant. Just stay in your lane if you can, and if I'm out of tone feel free to delete this post. [/QUOTE]
