[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 2504942, member: 68875"] Find someone with a chronograph, even if you have to ask a stranger at your local range, and get an actual velocity of that ammo in your rifle. I am betting you are more like 2500-2550. Which is OK. For steel, it will sure be fun, and a good learning experience. 1000 should be doable. I used to shoot the 140 HVLD w. MV of 2850 out to 1771 yards. It got tricky past 1400, but doable. You should not hit transonic/subsonic (providing 2500fps MV) until 1200ish yards depending on your elevation and temps. Even further if you are up in elevation. Making 1000 on steel very realistic. For deer sized game, limit shots to 550-600 or so to stay above 1800fps, and you should be fine. [/QUOTE]
