What is the best caliber for long distance deer hunting. I don't understand the deal with caliber so how dose that work. Thanks
The answer, in part, depends upon what you consider "long distance". Some, with a good deal of practice, use of range finders, etc., will attempt shots to 400yds. + (approx.
1/4mile). Too far for me. Personal max is 300yds. There's just too many variables
involved, the hardest of which is wind deflection. The deer deserve as "humane"/quick
a kill as possible.
I'd recommend a 270Win., 280 Remington, or 7mm Rem.Mag. AND LOTS OF PRACTICE!
