I am a coward over long shots- or even medium ones- my 7x57 is sighted in at 100 yards and I have never taken a shot past 120. One of the guys I hunt with has the same gun same cal. and has taken deer at 250+ but I don't have the confidence that I can make a shot like that. I want the deer to fall over dead within my sight!
Daddy, on the other hand, has taken deer at 420 yards (I helped pace it off) but he's shooting a .308 or 45-70 with handloads that he's done all those trajectory figures on.
