Great discussion guys,
I don't agree with MOST Westerners having to shoot extended distances. I can count(if I remember correctly) on 7 fingers the number of what I call long range (250+ to 560) with the majority coming in under 300. Most of my game is taken between 25 and 100 yards.
Judging range in open country SUCKS (Central Washington), in the wooded country I hunt in Idaho it's much easier. Be careful out beyond 350 guys! JMO
I'm working on ole Betsy that has done it's job well on most species in North America. The others I haven't hunted yet!
Funny you should mention the West vs East. I am making the 7600 an East to West Coast whitetail gun. (Yes it will handle just about any task). My last step is coming up with a 180 or 200gr load in either Accubond or Interbond.
As for range? look at ANY high velocity round in the ballistic tables. At 500, there's an obvious risk of missing or not making a well placed shot, even given no wind!
