Boyd, -- one question, which shot would have the best chance to succeed, one less than 300 yards or one past 600 yards? You, like others, trying to justify shooting at animals at ridiculous ranges, claim chalengers of not knowing anything about what or how you are doing it. BALONEY. Many of us have been shooting and hunting for more years than you are old. There is no sense in using a living thing as a target for your selfish pleasure when a paper or silhouette target would show the results, good or bad. You or no one else on this planet can tell precisely where a bullet will strike at a thousand yards. Yes you may have knowledge of reloading, and it's requirements for precision shooting and your rifle may be the best in the land, BUT, BUT, THERE ARE THINGS YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OVER. and you know it. At least the guys shooting at responsible ranges are doing their part to try and do the proper thing. A one inch miss of the center of a target at 100 yards is how much of a miss at 1000 yards. One step of an animal at the touch of the trigger is how much of a miss at 1000 yards. We may be dumb but not that dumb to think a chart can control the wind within a 1000 yards. There are just too many variables to justify shooting at game long range. When they develop the Ray Gun perhaps we can hunt that far.
<br>I am sure you have knowledge to share around this campfire and I am eagerly waiting to hear about your reloading and rifle experiences. Because some of us don't agree with the long range hunting never think for a moment we don't know anything about it. -- no
