[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 1526421, member: 8873"] Not being rude, but I think it can be that cut and dry. Limits are set for whatever reason (personal convictions, conditions at the time of the shot opportunity, ballistic inadequacy of the cartridge/bullet, etc). I set limits for every rifle based on how it’s specific load/bullet combo can perform reliably, both in accuracy and terminal performance. Then if the conditions at the time aren’t ideal I’ll pass it, or sometimes my own personal deficiencies come into play. I’ve passed on 50 yard shots due to animals position. This year opening day elk season I had an animal @ 1600 yards with ideal environmentals and a rifle fully capable (375 grain bullet 1850 FPS & 2840 ft-lbs), however I was the limiting factor and set my limit a few hundred less than that. Sounds like you have some great toys, by the way! [/QUOTE]
