Zrex, why not use a sensible caliber, and aim for the vitals?
I do, I have a .243 for longer shots. I'm telling you, areas I hunt, shots dont exceed 50 yds. I honestly would have to find a spot just to be able to shoot over 50 yds. And the area isgetting kinda populated. The bow and the Hornet are challenging, it would be no fun shooting 15 yds with a .243 that has a bull barrell and a 6x18x50mm scope. Dude, I am a neck and head shooter, until the ranges start to exceed 100-150 yds. You will never change that. Been doing that for 25 + years. Whats the difference in shooting squirrels or rabbits in the head ? Do you think a wounded rabbit is any less of importance than a wounded deer ?
Get a .300 Win Mag, hit them in the vitals, and at those kinda ranges, the deer will drop within 15 yards every time.
