[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 579213, member: 24624"] That's still a pretty general question that you might post over in the hunting area. You'll find a lot of varying opinions ranging from exotic wildcats to any factory chambering you can think of. People get equally passionate about their cartridge as they do their rifle. That's part of what makes it a great sport. There are many ways to strategize that may all be equally correct for your situation. The reality is that most modern cartridges will take deer out to 300 yds or more with a decent factory rifle, ammo, and optics. With a little planning, it's not hard to gear up for 500yds. You might want to go over there and introduce yourself and explain what you're trying to accomplish. As this is a Long Range Hunting site, there are guys here that are hunting and/or shooting at distances from 50-2500+ yds. Many will assume you want to hunt elk at 500-1000 yds if you don't qualify your objective. -- richard [/QUOTE]
