I agree 600 is way freaking out there.
I killed a coyote pushing 800 the other day. Even I was amazed shocked stoked I couldn't believe it.

I've been shooting lots of rocks lately to lol.

Hoping to get my 260 running soon but man the 2506 is working well with 115 boss.

And yeah mirage is a killer.

Hoping get out and get some chucks at long range.

Not sure how far id take a deer. Need to shoot more

I like the .284 bullets myself and certainly the larger 30 caliber rounds for longer ranges. I've taken a few animals over 600 yards without the aid of a tactical type scope but I've been shooting longer ranges for most of my adult life. I wouldn't mind putting said scope on a .300 RUM, that could be an interesting combination. With some of the long range type bullets today (Cutting Edge Bullets, Berger, Sierra etc) one could find endless possibilities. However, like most of us, my ranges on big game tend to be much more moderate than long range. In Africa, I'd say my average range on big game is 250 yards; with dangerous game 25-70 yards. I'll be on Buffalo next week but with a heavy hitter. Cheers, gg
