There you go Sierra22, thats probably more then a bit of my "prejudice". I feel like (personal thing here) I am cheating when I plug a critter at beyond 100 yards. Heck to be honest one of my goals is to take my 45LC carbine up to my brother in laws in montana one year and plug an elk with it at CLOSE range (If you can kill the freakin' thing with a recurve bow I can kill it with my 45.) Besides it takes all the fun out of it. I guess I have seen to many hunting shoes with some guy whispering 400 yards downrange just before his buddy snaps the spine on a antelope with a 7mm wsm and they stand there talking about what a great shot it is while the critter drags its back half crying and trying to get away (Saw this on a video in a wal-mart recently that was playing on one of their tvs in sporting goods. No wonder the Antis hate us.)

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
