[QUOTE="snookntarpon, post: 948789, member: 31823"] I read somewhere in a long range shooting book that below 1600 fps (at least for most common calibers and weights) everything seems to affect bullet path far more than above 1800 fps. that set the max extreme hunting range for me as a veteran hunter and beginning long ranger. So for my 7-08 that puts it around 800 yards. Would i ever take a shot at a deer at that range? no. 400 yards is a long poke but 500 is long range in this gun. for the 25-06 800 yards is max extreme as well, but 400 is long poke and 500 is too far for an ethical kill in my book. My 300 WSM: 400 is a good poke, 500 is a long poke and 600 is long range. extreme: 800-900 would i shoot at game at extreme range? Hogs. snt [/QUOTE]
