[QUOTE="ss7mm, post: 584298, member: 5"] I think that before making a post like this that you would have stopped to consider a lot of things before putting "pen to paper". You live half way around the world and more than likely hunt different terrain and different animals at different ranges. You've been around here a couple of years but don't seem to have grasped the concept of this site. The guys have pretty well explained it so I won't go over it but if you want to use a round that has limited range then maybe it would be best to stay in a forum not designated as "Long Range Hunting & Shooting". You seem to make some assumptions about our membership and that's not a great method to use in my opinion. Quite possible in your part of the world a round with what some here would consider to have limited long range possibilities can and would handle most if not all of the hunting situations you may encounter where you hunt. But.......like has been stated, nobody is going to carry multiple guns when out hunting and are not going to carry a gun with limited range capabilities and then go out hunting in country that can present a shot at very long range. I hunt with a gun that is capable of killing a deer at 1500-2000 yards but I've also shot a deer with it at under 100 yards. Overkill, maybe. Did the bullet mow down half of the forest and also dig a new underground mine before coming to its final resting point? Nary a tree was killed in making the shot and none of the ground was plowed up beyond recognition. Would I leave my dedicated long range rig home and then wish I had it when a longer shot was presented? No way, I can take a shot from 100 yards to 1000 yards and know that my equipment will handle it. If long range, as practiced here in the states, is not exactly your cup of tea and you want to use a less potent round and sneak up on them, then more power to you but I'd suggest you look up at the top of the page and notice the site name.
