[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 5517930, member: 2805"] 450y max on whitetails... not because the gun isn't capable of more, but because I realized I can easily mistake a small spike from a doe at that distance, or a 125 from a 135in buck at that distance. Killed a pile from 500 to 650y, all 1 shot kills. Dial elevation, hold windage... never shoot long range (500y plus) in more than 5 to 7mph winds at live game. For most folks at medium range (250 to 400y), just zeroing at max point blank range for their gun and holding a bit over past that is fine. I still sight in for 100, then dial my elevation... made a headshot on a yotie this year at 326y. In my hands, a 400y shot from a good rest is FAR more ethical than a 150y offhand shot. [/QUOTE]
