Enough with relativism.

Any hunting shot with a modern rifle (Above 2400FPS) beyond 150 yards is long range. Older technologies have lesser capabilities. Unskilled shooters may need to limit themselves even further.

The super magnums make it easier to eliminate the guesswork regarding trajectory beyond 150 yards, but almost all of the other variables stay constant. They really shine with heavy bullets that lessen the winds influence some.

That said, worry about your capabilities, and less about your neighbor's actions, and you will enjoy this sport much more.

If you have to ask what long range is, it is probably shorter for you than for the guy who already knows the answer to this question.

I have a 375 yard rifle range and a 300 Weatherby. I practice. I think 150 yards is a long way even shooting prone.

Never forget, one man's long range is another man's long shot. We should not be afraid to shoot at long range, but we should never risk game to a long shot.
