My first 3 bull elk were shot at 60 yards or less (after long, long stalks), but the next ones were 480 yards with my .338, and 128 yards with my muzzle-loader. I had told myself before these hunts that my max range to shoot an elk was 500 yards for the rifle and 150 yards for the muzzy. I shoot often and have a range on my property, and that is after a very strong foundation from the USMC. I hear from way too many people who don't shoot much that they can now be long range experts just because the rifle/scope/ap says they are.
