[QUOTE="270 lefty, post: 340848, member: 16003"] I killed a nice six by seven bull elk last September with a 168 bullistic tip Granted it was only 100 yrds. Just yesterday I put 3 holes in paper 1/3 minuet group @ 300 yrds 1/2 grn under max recommended load 58.5 grns H 4350 168 nosler bullistic tip 215 fed primer 2808 fps It was probably an accident. I have used alot of bullets in this gun the bullistic tips seem to be as accurate as any. Barnes 180's were terrible in my gun the old fail safe 165's shoot good but I wouldn't hunt with them again act to much like a fmj if you look at your charts this load has just under 900 ft pounds @ 900 yards moving about 1500 fps it will kill a deer with a well placed shot but you better know your gun well, to make a shot that long it will drop about 220" zeroed @ 200 that is @ 5000' I forgot to mention the elk I killed I decided to use the 06 even though my brand new 270 amp custom built long range rifle sat in my truck guess I was just more comfortable in the trees @ close quarters with it [/QUOTE]
