Something Jack do not mention in the article, was that the Boer's used 7x57 Mausers in the Anglo Boer War from 1899 to 1902 in South Africa!

The question I always ask.... when is hunting going over into long range target shooting?
Good point.
Shooting in war at humans, a gut shot is as good as a heart shot. LR shots are more acceptable.
100%, the Brits .303 was outclassed by the 7mm s.
Second point. When seriously looked at most hunting shots are less than 200 m. Over that range, the average hunter often misses.
We need an ad hoc NE survey on ranges people have shot at, mostly and rarely, when hunting. A newcthread later.
