Shoot2Hunt University - Anyone Keep their Magnum?

[atmat]

Form, I have a 7 PRC and am building a 6CM right now. What hunting scenario(s) would you recommend still using the magnum?

He’s going to tell you >1,000 yards, and that’s about it.

Beyond the terminal range of the 6cm and bullet. 900+ yards.

Don't forget this hunting scenario:
I have a relaxed animal feeding at 950.
No wind. Rock solid rest.
Should i grab the 223 or 7PRC or my 300 win mag?
Doesn't matter in my case.
I'm not capable of ethically taking the shot.

I completely agree. Unless it was the perfect situation and you had someone like Form, Chris, the Mikes, behind you calling wind and shots. At that point I would probable lose my self control lol

@Formidilosus asked the question in our class, and I’m assuming all the other classes, as to what the maximum distance a person would shoot a once in a lifetime animal. There was only one person who probably answered honestly, that there was really no distance they wouldn’t take it (within reason, they indicated that they would not shoot 1000 yards in 20 mile an hour winds).

I personally question where I would draw the line in such a scenario. It may be the most important question for somebody to ask themselves, and have a hard line that they will not pass.

Fantastic reference! Sometimes it’s okay for a the animals to win, can’t lose sight of that. Typical our hunting is not life and death, eat or starve scenarios
