I really don't think a ML should be used past 250yards. If i know my shots are going to be past 250 i would rather use a CF rifle. There is a major difference in a CF rifle and a ML in bullet drop and windage. I also dont think you should shoot past 200yards with out a ballistic reticle scope either. And yes i'm guilty of not doing so, but that still doesn't make it right. I shot my Buck at 90yards or so, that's alot more fun and easier.
