[QUOTE="cfvickers, post: 511899, member: 25488"] In North America anything with four legs and antlers or horns but short of a buffalo. For Deer/red deer and the sort I like the 130 gr. Berger VLD Hunting. 140 works equally well. With the 130 just for hunting I use 51.8 gr. RL17, Hornady brass that I have annealed, I use a fed 215 primer but GM210M works too. Velocity is 3200 at about 50 deg F at my altitude I have about 900 yards of range considering energy on a whitetails up to 250 lbs. For Elk, I would say 750 but I would use a 140 on elk. My 140 load is 50.5 grains RL17 at about 3100 fps You have about 100 more yards with it but a little more drop. Out to about 600 yards they should be just about on the same flight path. [/QUOTE]
