So out of Nosler's Reload Manual # 3:
"The longest measured shot I have taken on big game came with the 250. Using a lightweight Model 70 carbine with a 20 inch barrel, I dumped a sitka deer an honest 440 yds away..."
was all BS? that is good to hear!
as that is what I thought when I read it way back in the 80s when I first got the manual...
call me crazy.. but I have trouble believing someone who'd use the expression 'the antediluvian 250-3000' would be much of a long range shot... and more of a book worm, or someone who liked to look up and then use big words to make himself look a lot smarter than he really was....
