Are you kidding? Wherever you're hunting must be very flat. In the rugged country of the Western states you had better be able to.make a 300 yard shot or you will be eating a lot of tag soup. When there is a big canyon between you and the game, you can't just stalk closer. I have killed three mule deer bucks with a side hammer Jussie loader in open sage brush and rim rock country, but that meant passing up shots on much bigger bucks. Anyone that thinks a 3 to 400 yard shot is next to impossible must be a flat land, deep woofs whitetail hunter. It's a different skill set."I do agree though, till you cross the 300 yard line there is little difference in trajectory!"
And what percentage of big game is actually shot beyond 300 yards?
Shot and killed, not just shot at.
