The question I always ask.... when is hunting going over into long range target shooting?

Hunting should not turn into long range shooting.

Long range shooting at game should be reserved for special situations, but if for some reason you have to shoot at long range, is it better to do it with a suitable rifle and cartridge, there is more of that nowadays than in the past, and not to experiment with cartridges that are not intended for it. However, there are hunts where you have no choice but to shoot at long range, meaning for example Ibex or sheep hunting in Central Asia.

It is not the topic, so we will stick with the cartridge 7x57, not a long range cartridge but a good cartridge for some, still used in my country, including and almost more the rimmed version, the 7x57R.
