.338 RUM next to a 7.62 NATO round. This is a factory load but I also hand load for it as well.

338 RUM is obviously the king for long range shooters... but how often are you going to use its capacity? irl i'd say maybe 1% of the time... so it's not needed. I'm against long range game shooting because more often than not people just wound animals, which is a really fucked thing to do.

I rarely if ever do any hunting. But it is nice to know I have a rifle that will take anything on the North American continent if needed. Its used more for long range shooting at 1000 yards.

Where I live, most people who take the time and have invested in the equipment to hunt at those ranges have taken the time to ensure their shot placement. It's more often that I see the fucking 4wheeler road hunters gut blast a doe at 40yd and watch it run off where their fat ass can't hike to.

you're comparing the 2 extremes of the spectrum.

one bunch are fucking idiots that often drink while shooting and shoot anything. the others go beyond their confident range which creates unnecessary risk for the animal suffering.

animals should be viewed as more than just targets... unless we're talking about niggers.

I guess it'd depend on what a person considers to be "long range". And yeah, some hunters are way too callous and overconfident.
