[QUOTE="Okie4570, post: 1646709, member: 15643"] Have taken 5 deer between 490y and 675y with my .280AI. I have had the opportunity to shoot at many more at those ranges but shooting conditions were not right, so I didnt consider shooting at them. I've put 100's of rounds thru this rifle so I'm comfortable with it. These five shots were actually taken off of a shooting bench next to landowners barn overlooking a wheat field with zero wind and I knew my exact distances and my ballistics, so I feel like these were within my "ethical capabilities". I usually bow hunt with a Hoyt Sky longbow, I wont shoot at anything over 20y, which I feel that's my ethical effective range. It's all relative to ones capabilities, just like everything else.
