[QUOTE="Don A Parsons, post: 1558297, member: 97414"] Funny that some people think that long range starts at a 1000 yards. Some might say 200 yards well others are just getting their shoe laces wet at 1700,,, Ha. I long shoot a 308 Winchester at thick skin and critters at distances that work for me. What I do at the shooting range has nothing to do with what I encounter in the wilds of America. Lots of factors come into play in my shooting world ,,, other shooters have their safety zones that work for them. Lots of heavy weight critters have been taken at some pretty long distances,,, that's not saying that the big bore units can't out perform alot of the small to mid size cases. The name of the game has always been shot placement,,, a person can flatten a building out with a D-11 push cat,,, or with a simple small hand held axe if you know what main support beam to remove. I picked the middle of the road in both categories to get the job done. 35 years ,,, nope,,, 45 years. Ha. Funny how my mind forgets many of the good times with simple things. No numbers & math for me since the best of times happens out side the doors in the wilds. Did I mention that the 303 British is the best. LOL North of the 49th Don [/QUOTE]
