[QUOTE="Jimm, post: 91627, member: 9"] Screech , My input is to not shoot a deer at those distances with a 87 gr. anything .At 3000 fps the energy is less than 300 lbs at 700 yds. You will be wounding animals with no chance for recovery . Even if you move up to 100 gr bullets at 3100 or so fps your bullet placement will still be critical. Better saved for crows and varmints in my opinion .More knowledgeable folks here I hope will weigh in on this as I think it is an important subject / question . Jim [/QUOTE]
