[QUOTE="Topgun 30-06, post: 1131550, member: 28854"] Sorry for the apparent lack of communication about what happened. You stated when the buck was at 500 yards your companion said to shoot, but the buck started running toward you until you shot at under 100 yards straight on and then twice broadside before the goat dropped. Thus, it sounded like you would have shot at 500 yards if you had been on the animal and ready the way I read your account. Your followup statement dissed the .243 and since I have no idea what you call long range that is why I made the statement. You also said nothing about a 30mph wind in your narrative. With a wind like that I certainly would not shoot at any animal at any real distance, especially with the .243 and that's why I also take my 25-06 on goat hunts out there. Finally, I had very poor success with the SST in my 30-06s out there and went to the Hornady SP and BTSP in the three different calibers I reload for (.243, 25-06, and 3 30-06s) and find them great at all distances within my shooting capabilities. Thanks for your followup clarifying things! [/QUOTE]
