[QUOTE="LarryBud, post: 776970, member: 60573"] The 290 Barnes is a fine choice, however, 300 yards with a muzzy is a long, long shot. The drop will be significant and you're losing energy fast at that range. You not only need to hit your target but you'll need to pack a punch. I would set my expectations much lower. You can run the ballistics calculations for you bullet and load of choice and practice, practice, practice. Or, sneak up to the next ridge and shoot'em at 100 yards without worry. [/QUOTE]
