[QUOTE="backwoods83, post: 507440, member: 29890"] Bergers can do the trick in some cases at lower velocities but should have a impact velocity of 1800fps+. Older lots of a-max will open down to about 1400 fps, the newer version with amp jackets should open at even lower speeds from what I've seen out to 300, they are highly frangible, I wouldn't reccommend using them inside of 300 unless its a ground hog or p dog. The regular ole nosler ballistic tip works down to about 15-1600fps. I still think the lower muzzle velocity of these bullet types large enough to have a good BC is going to be quite challenging at 800 yards, all I can say is practice all the time in all conditions so you can go for perfect shot placement and not be reckless.
