This forum goes goes through more dry spells than a man married for over 10 years...
I want to get everyone's take on the article in the recent Trophy Hunter. An 11-year old boy downed a good looking coues in SE AZ on a 467 yard shot with a 22-250! I own a 22-250, he must have been aiming 128ft above the deer, but the article said that his dad told him to put the crosshairs right on him. Am I missing something here? Can a 50gr bullet from a 22-250 have that much power at nearly 500 yard to have a one shot kill? I have never shot at anything at that distance, so I honestly wouldn't know.
Thoughts?
