Here is a more likely situation. You're watching a wheat field, a monster buck walks out at 350yds away. You pick up your 260rem with a 143gr ELDX, put the crosshairs on its chest, pull the trigger, watch it die.


It's that simple.
I can and have done the very same thing with a rifle chambered in .303 British and know of a couple last year that were shot with.308's at greater distances
There is no "perfect" bullet /cartridge combination out there , there are however lots that we can choose from.
