RE: Comparing ballistics
I agree on the flat shooting debate. For me this does not play a big factor because I am not going to push the envelope range wise. I have never shot at an Elk that was more than 250 yards and make every possible attempt to get well within 200 yards. I get enough oppertunities so I have no need to take iffy shots. There is nothing and I mean NOTHING more important to me than knowing that when I pull the trigger, that bullet is going where I want it to go. I have faith in my shooting and equipment to perform well out to 250 yards. Nothing except an already wounded animal is going to make me shoot any further. At one time when I shot silhouettes and shot a lot more than I do now, I would have set my limit at more like 400 yards. However times have changed and I have shortened the range.
