You ought to see what a real long shot looks like in Idaho. You have to plot the trajectory on a Map!And you said you didn't make long shots in Idaho! Nice shooting...
Dang I feel your pain, the day before I went hunting I noticed my base was loose on the 7x300 wsm, I over tightened a screw and snapped it off.Well, if I didn't make a small error with slightly too long of an action screw for about 75 rounds, It would have been used to kill things this year. Had to do new load works ups since I was chasing my tail with weird groups. All it took was slight pressure on the bolt to make me scratch my head for awhile.
I don't usually post my big game kills on here but I just got my first bull over 400 yards, shattered it really.. 940 yards with a 147 ELD M from my 6.5 SAUM.
I shot him cross canyon at a 25 degree upward angle, I hit about 3" high the bullet blew through the rear part of the shoulder and scapula bone, clipped the top of the lungs and shattered the spine.
if you look at the photo of me shooting the bull was in the top left of the clearing near the timberlineView attachment 108272
