Two reasons why I never take my Knight LRH out of the stock. And the fact that I swore off of T-7 over a year ago. That T-7 is far too inconsistent for me to ever use it agian. Back to good old 3F BP for me. And a heavy conical.
Long distance and ethics IMO do not correlate.
What is a good shot for one person is not a good shot for another when it comes to distance.
I practice alot with my Knight rifles. I feel completely confident to 150 yards with my open sighted Knight MK-85. I feel completely confident to 225 or 250 with my Knight LRH.
But I would only take a shot like this under ideal conditions. When conditions worsen, the distance gets shorter, vastly shorter. And to me a shot at running deer is unethical, regardless of distance. And alot of guys shoot at running deer, but I don't. But I would not call a guy shooting at a running deer at 50 yards unethical, however I would never take that shot. I even avoid a brisk walk shot. Tom.
