RE: Long Range Question
All very interesting in deed..Long range hunting..It is all find and dandy if you know what your doing,but there is a lot that can happen between here and there..I shot 1000 yard comp. for a long time..My 30-338 with a 190 grain bullet and muzzle velocity of 2950 fps..A ONE thats right 1 mile an hour wind will blow it off 6 inchs at 1000 yards..So if you don't have the wind flags to read you have no idea what is going on out there unless you can read the mirage...
The only thing I have against this is ,if you wound an animal it is hard to tell where he was in the first place...I know alot of guys around here who can put a bullet where they want it at 600 or better,but they don't hunt that way..My 6.5x284 can hit a man with almost every shot at 1000 to 1200 yards.....IF Conditions are right....With enough practice and enough money to play with we all could do it.....
