OP Coyote_Hunter Campfire Outfitter Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 12,651 6491 Feet Above Sea Level	Originally Posted by Yoder409 I can see your logic on the 6" target for hunting applications. That 6" target really peels back the MPBR on things !! Not your optimal long range projectile...…..but the 485 B.C. 7mm bullet that gets me to 442 yards (at your house at 7000 feet) on a 10" only makes 360 yards on a 6" target. Still fairly respectable in the point-and-shoot aspect. Agreed. The vast majority of big game I've taken has been 300 or under. Only ones longer have been elk (487, 411, 400, 350). The range for the elk at 400 and 350 were measured using Google Earth, so may be off a tad either direction. No one in my hunting group has taken anything past 300, so the 6" diameter MPBR works well for us. 7000ft isn[t my house, it is the average altitude at which we hunt. Coyote Hunter - NRA Patriot Life, NRA Whittington Center Life, GOA, DAD - and I VOTE! No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's. A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
