RE: Cartridge selection...need help
3 nites ago we were sitting at the clubhouse and spotted a coon in the beanfield. didn't have a rangefinder but guessed it at 550 yds. i'm zero at 300 and -12" at 400 with my 25-06 and 117grbt's.held about 3 coons high and hit about 25yds short. he just stood there so i raised up another 1/2 coon and smoked him. i'd say that's far enough and flat enough.
