That bein said..there are guns that will do wayy yunder more than what that article claims..but thats just paper shootin fun..k dont know a soul who actively claims to try and killem at 60yds..much less 70 or 90…not on purpose anyway.

A lot of people try it at that distance. They don't talk about it, though, because of the blowback like yours and Sandmtnslayer's. Not disagreeing with you. I woulnd't shoot one at 80 yards. I like getting them within 40, or closer. Makes my liver quiver. But the ammo will reach, and people do it.

Especially with tss carrying more energy down range. It’s a great tool used properly, but like everything else there’s folks that have no respect for the animal that will push the envelope.

Just rubs me the wrong way when these companies now try to act like they care after promoting all the nonsense in the past.
