[QUOTE="memtb, post: 1557729, member: 75451"] “If” all of the shots taken are at extended ranges, then a choice of bullets offering a very high BC, with thin jacket, desiged for explosive expansion at reduced velocities, with only “broadside shots”, offers a good, valid selection. But, to change the scenario.....if presented with the trophy of a lifetime, which is dearly wanted, offered a shot at much closer range (under 100 yards), failing light, entering timber only offering a severely quartering away shot, or “Texas Heart Shot”, head down (not offering a back of head shot), will you pass? This is similar to, a “test of character” shot, that hunters should pass on, if shots are beyond their shooting capabilities. All hunters will eventually face the decision of “ ethics over desire”! We each know, or should know “our self imposed question of ethics”, and thereby, choose a bullet/caliber/velocity, that will work at all ranges, and all shot angles, within our self-imposed limits of “ethical” hunting! If the hunter has “no” ethics, my post is of little value! memtb [/QUOTE]
