The ethic is that you should never fire on at a range that you cannot hit the target consistantly under field conditions. Alot of people think that if they can hit on the range then they can do it in the field, t'ain't so.
In the field you are fireing one shot. With that shot you have to calculate bullet drop, wind, humidity, angle of fire and a little Coriolis effect. That's with no sighters and very little time. I read that as irresponcible on an animal. Alot of people have shot at 500yrds and done well, but 1000yrds is an entirely differant ball game. As far as the round, one of the important things is that the bullet remain super sonic all the way to the target. Funny stuff can happen to a bullet as in goes trans sonic.
