Buffhunter, did you bench press the ivory, too. Just poking a little fun at your name. If you have the skill to make a shot consistently, and I suspect you do, then no one should have a problem with wanting to shot something at long range. You have enough gun...I suggest a Barnes X Triple Shock for the pill. Obviously your odds of wounding an animal are increaing with the range. But, if you've got the skill and the tools I hope it works out. I'll look forward to seeing the story of you hunt in this thread next fall.
Pictures of you bench pressing the deer, bear or elk would be impressive.
