I put about 1000 rounds downrange at known distances with my .260 before I started practicing shooting on the prairie at unknown distances and ranging. Even with considerable practice and well above average skills pulling the trigger, reading wind, knowing my DOPE and animal behavior, there are distinct limitations. I put out 1500 rounds before I shot an animal beyond 505.
I saw the video of the .243 @ 688 on a woman's first elk...sorry, but I just don't agree with the risk that was taken.
