Hahahaha! Actually the largest bull I've ever taken with a rifle was one I shot with a.257 Weatherby at 385 yards, and I'm damn glad I had that rifle along.
He was leaving the country, along with 7-8 cows,( bumped by other hunters) and luckily he stopped and looked back, before disappearing into a cedar jungle. There was no time to range, just point and shoot. I put a 120gr partition through both lungs from prone.
It was sighted for a 300 yard zero.
Thank You sir:
That's been my point IN this thread.

10 years ago I killed a really big black bear across a canyon right before dark with a .308 at 492 yards, after spinning my turret to the correct setting. There was no way to cut the distance,
as he was working his way towards heavy cover when I took the shot....That would have been a very difficult holdover shot with any rifle. I was glad I had that rifle, and it's capacity, along that evening.
LOL, I can't believe you broke one of Petzal's 10 commandments. Somebody get this man a subscription to Outdoor Life, he needs to read up on this stuff.
