That's the key, if you ask me. Most people can't shoot to the full capability of their rifles. I am a decent shot, but I doubt I'm going to put a 6 inch group at 500 yards.
The longest shot I've made hunting was just over three hundred meters. I doubt I would even bother to take one longer than that - I felt pretty lucky to get a clean kill at 300.
