As to 400 yds, I'm in the old boy camp that thinks that if you ever take a shot at a game animal (not a varmint) at more than 300yds, you should be forced to write yourself a letter long hand, in triplicate, (no carbons) explaining exactly why you had to take that shot.

I resemble that comment !
That 270W is not my elk rifle - Its my favorite deer rifle.
I mentioned it only because it fit the thread topic.
Our hunting club has a rule: If coyote or hog shows up deer hunt is over.
While I practice shots to 450 yds with it, the longest shot on deer I've taken was 285 yds.
I've never missed a deer with that rifle !!!
The 270 performed well at 285 - Broke a rib going in and going out.
Now have put bullets in coyotes and hogs out past that distance.
