YEa i know it is OHIO , where do you think i live N. E Buckeye Col. county . And yes a Rifled barrel shot gun with the Hornady'SST will reach out . Balistic's are better then on a 45-70 . At 150 yds you are dead on and at 200 Yds you have just about 7 inches of drop . And if one is out past that just hold about two three inches over there back and if on a dead run out that far hold about the edge of chest . we hunt in a group of anywhere between six and ten guys . Three of us shot the SST's in rifled barrel the rest are shooting smooth bore . I am the OLD guy in the group so i am the one setting not driving . I have done a lot of LONG range shooting and i can figure out real fast on how to put a round on target after i get the feel of the weapon and the round i am shooting . I may need glasses for up close work now a days but i still can see way out there . yep i have missed the close shots when i first started shooting this shot gun due to my eyes not being able to focus on the ft. sight and the rear at the same time so to solve that problem i added a Bee Square mount and a holographic sight . The green dot is better then the red and works good in all light cond. it took ten rounds to dial it in at the first for 100 yds with the old sabots . The one day i was buying ammo and these SST's were on sale for 4 bucks So i bought six boxes and found out on the vary first shot that my sights were off WAY off as i was now shooting way high . So instead of changing the sights we started to see just where we were hitting at that set up we kept moving the target out . At the old set i was hitting dead on FOR a Shot gun at 160 yards . Now i know i have to hold low on the close in shots . Two days later we all went out and we were going to drive two farms . I was to walk down the well drive back in about 3/4 of a mile and stand by a small patch of trees . Everybody went and set up best we could trying to cover close to 600 acres with 10 guys ( that leaves a lot of HOLES ) Myself and three of the younger guys would start the drive more or less as the young guys all in there late twentys to early thirty's and the OLD fart ME would walk north . The young guys would do the woods and i would walk the well drive . everybody else was way north of us . I was about half way back to my place to set when four deer broke out of the woods WAY out there and were headed west at about a warp factor five . We had nobody to the west . So i tryed to get them to trun north by putting a round down at them , sometimes this works . There was snow on the ground and i saw where my round hit just under the lead Doe i had a sight on her in the kill zone when i fired and shot just under her . The second doe came into the sight picture and i did a quick calulation and made the adjustment in the sight picture and fired . I heald up just above her back and to the ft. of her chest and fired she dropped dead in her tracks . Josh was the closest to me to the east came running out of the wood while the old guy just walked down . When the rest of the guys got up there my buddy Eugene said i saw them break and i saw the snow fly on your first shot then i saw that Doe just drop then i heard your second shot , where were you standing when you shot . I told him east of the tank battery and maybe thirty yards to the north , NOWAY yep that is where i shot from So he had to walk back there and he found the two shell casing next to where i was standing and he paced it off The next year at his brother farm like always i was standing and took another long shot and down the Buck as i had time to dial it in in my head . And besides at the price of these rounds they cost more then a 50 BMG so ya got to make them count , Not like the rest of the guys . If we did not have the three shot limit they all would have 8 round tubes on there gun and empty them on each deer . One guy has the speed loading down to a sience as he loads three into his shot gun and holds two more rounds in his left hand fingers he will get off five shots .
