[QUOTE="Eaglet, post: 639895, member: 3756"] I tell you, if you can get the 225 gr. NAB at a muzzle velocity of 2850 fps and at an elevation of 5000', [B]at 900 yards[/B] you would still have 1700 fps of bullet velocity which is fast enough for good terminal ballistics and would have an energy of about 1500 ft-lb which is, in my opinion, good enough for a large bull elk. The Sierra 210 gr. would be good to about [B]770 yards[/B] for 1500 ft-lb of energy. The 225 NAB would help you with about 6.5 inches closer in a 10 mph crosswind at 770 yards and much more at 900 yards. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
