that's 300 yards on a non-moving, orange target without the stress of actually hunting (unless you haven't reached your jug bag limit yet I guess...). He is no doubt a well practiced shooter with a lot of holdover (I'm guessing in four foot range) taken into account... an inline is far from a CF. Even the cutting edge of front stuffers, smokeless guys shooting .40 and .45 bullets sabotless are far from CF shooting. Even the best .50loads are around the hot .45-70 level (300gr@2500fps). The .40 and .45 guys get into standard 30-06 range in weight and speed (200gr@2800fps), but do it with short, fat, low bc bullets by rifle standards and cant do a whole lot better...
