2018, I painstakingly built a long range rifle in 280AI, and sighted in at long ranges, and then shot a 15" antelope buck free hand at ~~ 50 yards.
Long range hunting is in the planning, but what really happens in hunting could be anything.
Did a similar thing a few years back. Practiced extensively out to 600 yards, sat on a hill where 400-500 for elk was most likely, passed on a shot at 25 feet, took a shot that was about 25 yards.
That's why I prefer bullets that are good near to far.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
