"Effective range" arguments always bother me. My effective range is 90 yards regardless of the weapon, actually it's a little less with my rifle. :peep:

he lobbed a bullet across a canyon and hit the bullseye.Cool.remember how i said some hunters would do it even if they didnt have a scope?dont you think others might?Maybe others cant thread the eye at 380 like your friend so maybe a scope would help the hunters that will try,shouldn't but do.

It's truly amazing you can know the exact details of a shot taken by someone you don't personally know years ago down to bullet bc and muzzle velocity. Impressive.

You completely cherry picked that experience.  He doesn't just lob rounds at 380 across canyons at animals.  That buck was wounded and needed to be put down as fast as possible.  Guys in Utah and and other states are shooting scoped muzzleloaders much farther than that.  Youtube long range muzzleloaders and see what they can do when modernized.  Hence the reason we would 100% lose days in the field if we allowed moder optics.

like I said before, numbers don't kill animals, bullets do.  Doesn't matter what your calculator says, that bullet ran the depth of that deer and flattened him!  Crushing bone along the way.  1 dead deer, that's the only number that matters
