A few years ago I think it was Colorado that made shooting elk with the 50 BMR illegal. I heard it was because of the wounded animals that were not being recovered, many with the front leg broken. 1000 yard shots at a game animal are careless at best. Anything over 400 is a big gamble for most people and on some days, very windy and or poor light, should not be considered so if this is the sales pitch for the creedmoor it's a very poor one. If you can't understand what part of the deer, elk or whatever is going to get shot at long range with too much bullet drop then stay home and get your Red Rider out and shoot sparrows.
