[QUOTE="CRaTxn, post: 740141, member: 14985"] Maybe you LR hunters have thoughts on this you will share with us...but, I think the limiting factor for a WOLF RIFLE is the reality that sub-MOA or even 1/2 MOA accuracy on a kill zone about the size of two over lapping pie plates is NOT the key here. I see the key to be MOW...Minute Of Wind ; in that, at some point well inside a thousand yards the realistic expectation of Killing and not just Educating a wolf ... is weighting the crosswind cutting ability of a high BC VLD bullet more than flat trajectory. And the other reality we all seem to agree on is that chances are you might mi..mi..miss once or twice and fast followup shots where the shooter stays-in-the-gun/scope allows making corrections for wind drift (yeah, yeah deflection) up the odds of tipping the Balance of Nature a little for those underdog ungulates . So all this Texan is mumbling about IS; something like a fast twist 6mm [6XC, the Alaskan gentleman's .243 / 6mmRem or even better Robert Whitley's 6mmSuperLR] or 6.5mmCM / 260Rem in an AR platform [where you can let fly those 600ish BC VLDs with fast recovery times aided by low recoil and self-loading actions...] = the Ideal Wolf Hunting Rifle. Sometimes less is MORE ! [/QUOTE]
