[QUOTE="Stgraves260, post: 2047834, member: 19988"] You should be good to 1000 yards. I can’t find 180 grain Nosler AB but did find some 190 grain. If you can get 3000 - 3050 FPS you should be good. Nosler says their AB bullets need 1600 FPS to expand properly. 1000 ft-lbs of kinetic energy should be enough to break a shoulder. Get a ballistics app to check for yourself because you are shooting a live animal. I’ve taken elk with a 260 Remington and 140 grain Berger bullet around the 1000 yards range. [/QUOTE]
