RE: 400 yard trophy?

My, oh, MY!!

This being only my 3rd post on here, I got to say we have quite the diversified group here!! I shoot a Ruger M77 270 if ya haven,t guessed, and, I use this for everthing up to elk and up to 300 yds. MAX. (on elk, 150gn. nos ballistic tip) ), , but, can shoot farther with and as accurate in the 90 and 100 gn arena. I use a simple Simmons (150.00 dollar scope), We load are own and I,m comfortable with what I,ve got.

I shot consistently expert in the Marines with an M-16 A1, early 70,s , open sight at 500 meters, ( 1lb coffee can diameter), and was so proud of that, UNTIL, they asked a few of us SPECIAL ones to TAD with a Recon Ranger Unit, and a week on the firing line with these cats! Decided to get out,BUT, got to see some of these guys hitting softball size targets,OPEN SIGHT, at 600 - 800 Yards.

You hunt with the expectation of taking your animal quickly and humanely, It,s NOT, a MARKSMANSHIP, competition!
