I beg to disagree Daryl_S--

You are correct in that most hunters are poor shots past 200 yds but there are exceptions. I have friends, ex military people out there who would scare me to death shooting on a bet at 600 yds with a 308!! Yes, they are that good and yes they have taken my money!

Most of my best animals have been at 250 yds++. I consider a shot at 250 to be capable by most any rifleman with practice.

I have killed a deer from a shooting house at a measured 456 yds, with a 7 mag Sendero.I ahve killed an elk across a 350 yd valley with no other means to get at him.Would I do it again under the same conditions?? Absolutely.

Not a good long range shot??

Go out with you buds and bet $$ on hitting targets at 300,350, 400, and 450 yds.Use the same rifle if you wish.How far is far? When you can't keep your bullets inside an 8" pieplate for elk size animals, then that is too far. I use a 5 inch diameter for deer size animals which places your shooting limit closer depending on the MOA accuracy of your rifle.

With todays technology shooting out to 300yds the real limit is the shooter with decent shooting conditions,etc,etc.
