[font "Tempus Sans ITC"][#808000][size 3]I don't blame this guy for thinking long range shooters are dumb. If I was shooting a .223 or .308 or a 6mm much past 300 yards at game I would consider myself dumb too. [

[font "Tempus Sans ITC"][#808000][size 3]Here is a link to the balistics for the .30-378 Weatherby that I shoot.

This is compared to the 15" drop at 300 yards or 91" at 600 yards that the author of the article is talking about.[/size][/#808000][/font]

[font "Tempus Sans ITC"][#808000][size 3]I actually have a friend that shoots competativly in the F-class, he just placed 12th in the world this last summer at the Raton shoot. He shoots the 6mm for the bench shooting but he is the one that got me into shooting the .30-378 vs my old 7 Mag.[/size][/#808000][/font]

[font "Tempus Sans ITC"][#808000][size 3]I don't want to drag this thing out either since I now days primarly hunt with a bow, but I still shoot my rifles plenty, and would still feal comfortable shooting 4-500 yards. Most of my shooting though does not come shooting at targets I actually shoot alot of real life situations shooting at Prairie Dogs, Jack Rabbits and Yodies. I guess thats the Wyoming hick in me that jsut wants to kill things.LOL[/size][/#808000][/font]
