I could be hunting an area that only allows a 100 yd shot. That has nothing to do with what I'm trying to achieve in a rifle build. That WAS the main topic. I've killed a good handful of deer at less than 50yds with a 35 Whelen, but one stepped out at 250 on my way out to the truck. I never intended on shooting that gun ,that far but it worked flawlessly. What's it matter on the terrain? I'm building a rifle that I want , I wouldn't ask what golf course you play to select what driver or wedge to take. LOL
