All relative, so I'll define big as >250 gr and long range as >400 yd. And slow as <2,500 fps. Assuming I'm carrying a rangefinder, and I know the trajectory, and I'm a good shot, I should be able to plunk a critter out there.
Now, 400 is my personal limit, and I did once drop an elk at that range, but I was shooting a new fangled magnum knock 'em dead. I know there are folks working with the old buffalo gun rounds. Read about the famous shot with a 50-70 Gov't at Adobe Walls. But I'm thinking 20th century, the "only" 111 year old 9.3x62.
What do you think?
