I hardly think so. I trained these guys how to shoot and with the proper equipment and skills, as long as we pick our shots, it's as easy for us to shoot a deer at 600+ yds. as it is for some to shoot one at 50 yds....I sent Ron Reiber at Hornady pictures of deer we killed out to 1,000+ yds. with the then new Hornady A-MAX bullets and he said "the Hornady A-MAX bullets were quickly becoming some of the BEST long range bullets for game - even though that was not their intended design and purpose"...I have used the following bullets for deer at long range with excellent results:6mm 105 gr. A-MAX...6.5 120 gr. A-MAX...6.5 - 140 gr. A-MAX...7mm - 162 gr. A-MAX...308 - 155 gr. A-MAX...308 - 168 gr. A-MAX...In most all instances, entrance hole was the size of a #2 pencil with the exit hole between a golf ball and tennis ball in size....D&T</blockquote>
