Congratulations on your accomplishment. It takes alot of range time to be able to know your rifle that well.I do not have a problem with a hunter who know's his rifle(a true rifleman) and takes long range shots.

The only problem with it is time of flight.Ethics comes in to play when you consider time of flight. Remember when you shoot a bullet around 1600-2000 fps-the sound get's there way before the bullet gets there. when I shoot my 45-70 at chunk rock at 400 yards, it is amazing how long it takes to hear the bullet impact the rock. I can lift my head off the stock, take a breath, then watch the smoke come off the rock.

Shooting long range with this type of projectile is definitely something that can be accomplished. But I guarantee that if a person makes a habit of shooting long range with slow projectiles, a bad hit will ensue. Tom.
