[QUOTE="MoBoost, post: 1421576, member: 3455"] Again don't want to start a pissing match; but seems that every long range hunting story comes with "clean miss" somewhere; and a lot of hurt deer is written off to "I must've missed it all together", while the animal with blown out kidneys dies 2 days later - at 600+ if the bullet didn't exit you'll never know you hit it - no blood trail; and let's be real at that distance if the animal didn't flop right there - you won't even bother to go look - surely ain't draggin' that 15lb rig for half a mile to see nothing in middle of nowhere. Oh, if you don't have "clean miss" story to tell - you haven't been hunting long enough. Ok, so maybe this whole post is a bit harsh, but saying [b]"anything inside of 600 yds., we do not shoot, regardless of size..."[/b] is rather arrogant... record setting guns barely hold deer sized groups at these distances (benchrest, known distance, known wind, stationary target).
