In my opinion an 8" target with 100% hits should tell you your personal limit.
In other words, the range you can hit an 8" paper plate five shots out of five will be your limit.
So obviously this will vary from different positions and different conditions.
If that's 100 yards from off hand then you should not fire at an elk over 100 yards offhand. If you can place all 5 rounds into the plate at 500 yards from prone, your limit from prone should be 500 yards. And so on and so on.
Only practice will improve your marksmanship and will also show you your personal limits. Be 100%Te honest with yourself and it will save you a LOT of grief in the field.
Tend to agree with this. If you can do it, do it. If not, don't.
