That's hunting. There are lots of variables in the field that make clean kills an imperfect science, whether shooting at short distance or long, such as moving game, unpredictable animal movements, etc.

It's certainly true that if you haven't practiced enough to be able to judge the wind and place your bullet with accuracy, in addition to learning about animal behaviour so you can determine when an animal is most likely to stay stationary, you should avoid shooting game at long distance.

Ringman, that's revolutionary thinking!

I am troubled by the mere fact that I agree with RM on this.


I would have bet you two were related!


I hear they have the same taste in scopes.

The hell you say, and what might that be? Never really paid much attention to RM's scope tastes, you have, please enlighten?

Oh no! My next scope will be a 2 1/2-25X52. It's two ounces more than my Bushnell and two millimeters larger.

I hope things are going well for you and yours.

I was up to 217 pounds last March. The gym shut down for eleven months. Today I got back to 190 pounds at the end of six weeks. So I am a year older and seven pounds fatter. To get back to 160 pounds body weight is going to be difficult.

If this three acres ever sells I will put that Hubble on a custom.

Thanks Ringman, I hope you and yours are well too. Our gym shut down for a month or two, but things are starting to get back to normal around here. That is, if you call working out with a mask on "normal."

My apologies to ringman. My comment was completely out of line! No one can give an azz hickey like boomer and you have never been like that. At least you are your own man.

You're alright, DingoDuk. No apology necessary. I try not to be a jerk, but one time I told a boss, "You add new dimension to the word 'idiot'." Can you believe he fired me? What thin skin!

There are, naturally, a ton of misses and sadly, wounded animals, when they try the 1000 yard shots. Guides hate like hell to see them set foot on the ranches.

Right.
I was in a hunting camp last year, there were some "hot-dogs" with their LR hunting rifles. they asked me, what are you shooting? My reply was, this is one of my 308's. You're only shooting a 308? I replied, yes, should be more than enough. We are only hunting deer.

My outfitter had a pair in 2017 (now they are all banned) that had custom 30-378s and enough electronics to make a moon landing.

They passed up several good Mulies cause they were "too close".

Finally found on @700 yards and "ONLY" took 6 shots to kill it.

Guide put them on it by watching the snow splashes from the misses !

A guy walks to the woods carrying his long bow in one hand. On his back, along side his small backpack is a quiver with a few wooden arrows. The back pack carries a canteen and enough food for one day. Is he hunting?

A guy drives to the woods in a pickup. He gets out throws on his small backpack with a canteen and enough food for one day. He has a quiver with a few arrows attached to his compound bow and heads into the woods. He has a range finder on his belt. Is he hunting?

A guy walks out his back door and heads for the woods with his open sighted .30-30 rifle. He has a canteen and a little lunch in a small fanny pack. Is he hunting?

A guy drives to the woods in his pickup. He gets out and grabs his .270 with a 3-9X scope sighted in for 100 yards. He takes a few cartridges out of the box and puts them into his pocket. He puts on a backpack which has a rangefinder and enough food and water for a whole day; and a little more if he decides to stay in the woods. Is he hunting?

A guy drives to the woods in his pickup. He gets out. He puts on his binoculars which he installed in a bino-buddy. He then puts on his backpack which contains enough food and water for a day. On his belt is a rangefinder. He picks up his long range 7STW with a Swarovski z5 5-25X52 sighted in for 300 yards mounted on it. Installed on the fore end is a bipod. Is he hunting?

A guy drives to the woods in his pickup. He goes to a clear-cut he scouted earlier in the year. After pulling off the roads at an abandoned landing he gets out a portable benchrest and sets it up. He then places a range finder on it to one side. Then he sets out a front rest and a rear sandbag on the bench rest. He carefully places a .30-378 Wea Mag carrying a Nightforce 12-42X56 scope sighted in for 100 yards. He can adjust the turret for the range at which he sees game. He gets out a set of Minox 15X58 Big Eyes and mounts them on a tri-pod. Is he hunting?

Irresponsible hunters takes all forms, and can be found in all hunting disciplines. Don't let yahoos like that taint your opinion of responsible hunters who are capable of consistently making long shots on game.

with respect, the military uses the 556/223 round because a soldier acn carry plenty ammo,this round is accurate,works well in a M-16 , and another reason it wounds the enemy soldiers very good, so then the enemy needs two soldiers to get the wounded soldier back to their camp. that`s the reasons for the 556/223 you wound one soldier and it takes out three enemy soldiers fighting against us. the round was developed for the military not just for hunting.
