[QUOTE="Dave King, post: 149121, member: 3"] 1. Texas Whitetail Deer ~ 900 yards 2. Coyote ~ 600 yards 3. Wolf ~ 600 yards 4. Medium sized hogs ~ 600 yards 5. Rams ~ 600 yards (I have zero experience with these critters.) 6. North American Whitetail ~ 900 yards 7. Prong Horn ~ 900 yards 8. Elk ~ 600 yards 9. Caribu ~ 900 yards 10. Smaller Moose ~ 500 yards For deer and caribou I believe that if I can poke through their chest it'll kill them, I have killed a lot of deer. From my experience and from the tales of other I feel caribou die fairly easily... I've even heard that a stale doughnut might kill one. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] For predators and critters of smaller size I don't believe the bullet will open up too well way out. I feel a need to stay inside the range where the bullet will expand quickly and cause some significant damage before exiting. The hogs I''ve killed lead me to believe they kill sort of hard. For large critters I feel the need to ensure the bullet can penetrate the full width (broadside shot) of the chest with an expanded bullet and therefore a closer distance. Presented for what it's worth.. your mileage may vary. [/QUOTE]
