Bullet construction and shot placement ALWAYS TRUMP “power”. And I don’t care who you are, long range shooting ALWAYS is detrimental to bullet placement !

I would not say always, but it's right that long range shooting is associated with risks.

We don't want to argue about long range shooting while hunting in general since it is not the topic and rather a North American matter than a European one.

Long range shooting must in our case, meant hunting DG and big game, bears including, only be reserved for extreme situations.

The first shot should certainly not be placed at unusual distances, but if, for example, an wounded game is being tracked, a lot is allowed and sometimes an shot at long distance with an big bore rifle on a big game, as far as one is able to do that with such weapons.

When shooting any weapon, the size of the groups open up larger and larger as distances increase. That, along with wind, temperatures, angles and numerous other details also increase the shooters errors.
I will stick with my original statement that “ long range shooting ALWAYS is detrimental to bullet placement”
