Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Long Range Hunting How are you determine maximum range?

I consider distance and energy. With my 300 WM, my limit is 600 yards. I have a couple of elk kills out past 5 but haven't needed to go to 6. With my 280 AI , (which is new to me) limit is 500 and my longest so far is 410. Of interest is that the only animals that i have not recovered have all been shots under 300 yards, most shorter.
