[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 428268, member: 13833"] Well that's a darn good start to give you the bug for some serious long range shooting. That's kind of the way I started about 40 years ago with the first 25-06 that remington chambered. I still have that action and it's on the third barrel now in a custom that I designed. I think 600 yds. was the farthest that I took any big game animal using Kentucky elev., but now that I've matured a little I wouldn't recommend that as there is a good chance of just wounding the animal. With the right equipment and a lot of practice, 1000 yd shots are as easy as the shot you took at 450. To answer your original question, I have taken several elk in the 1000 yd range as well as a black bear. Because I only shoot when conditions warrant, so far I have not missed or wounded any animals. If you want to get serious about long range hunting, I suggest that you frequent this site and play close attention to the many tutors that are available. Ask questions, and practice, practice, practice! Again, congratulations on a fine shot.......Rich i [/QUOTE]
