[QUOTE="woodneagle, post: 2887033, member: 124164"] A 600 yd shot. Should you? Then would you? But then, could you? The GunData.org site show a 150 grn bullets drops 56" at 500 yds, Putting a bullet in a vital zone for a clean kill would be a challenge for most hunters, but having the rifle zeroed at 300 yds would help. You'd need a very steady rest and not be winded from climbing over rocks and rough terrain to get as close as possible. If you know your game, your scope, rifle and your bullet trajectory and windage, it's very possible to pull it off. It gets down to a judgement call in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
