[QUOTE="rbTanzan, post: 3054651, member: 53978"] I voted by percentage, but not by 100 shots. My favorite hunting rifles are limited to 400 yards: a 500 AccRel (wildcat, ballistically like 500Jeffrey), hand-loaded 416Rigby rounds at 330-350gn at 2800fps, and 338WM with 210-225 gn loads at 2830-2950fps. All MOA. The only 600-yard hunting rifle that I own is a 300PRC. It's pretty nice, but I don't like the idea of going beyond 500 yards, even 400 most of the time. Forty years ago, anything over 300 yards was considered a long shot, and I've made a few. A person needed to know their areas and ranges very well. And even then . . . I once called a 450-yard shot "300-flat". Yes, the shot was low and fortunately missed the front hooves. [/QUOTE]
