This is kind of an entertaining thread. How many gun hunters say, "man if I down size my bullet then I will get a flatter trajectory and then I can hit a deer from 500 yards away!" NONE!
Actually, that is percisely what I did when I gun hunted. The whole point to gun hunting for me was to know that if a deer gave me an open shot out to 400 yards, that he was going to die. Therefore, I shot at those distances a grest deal and I shot the smallest hottest shooting bullet out of my 06 that I could get.
