I got into this same fight on the accurate reloading forums and that is pretty much the reason I quit going there. One guy there had a site, I'll try to find it, with a guy who shot elk and antelope at ranges of like 1000 yards. He would drive around until he found the animal, set up his bench and take the shot. Some of his pictures he was in the road, you could see his pickup in the background. To me, no matter how much skill you have shooting at long range(400 yards +) is stupid. In my life I have taken one shot at a deer around 400 yards and I missed. it was a big, 170 class mulie. I had a good rest and everything was okay, but I just missed. Now being a few years older I wouldn't have even tried it. There is just too much risk. I would have came back the next weekend and got him, instead I spooked him out of the country till the season was over. One fall a buddy of mine got to shot an elk that another doofus had already wounded. He was shooting at the elk from 3 ridges over. The distance had to have been pushing 600 yards. Lucky for us we found the elk and shot him at like 30 yards.
