[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2333796, member: 10755"] For lethality, it depends on the bullet. I have personally shot deer at ranges where the bullet has fallen below it’s velocity window. The bullets killed the animal, but the performance was very poor in most instances. The only bullet to date that has worked at 900fps/1100fps and expanded is the Nosler 6.5 129g & 142g ABLR respectively. Bullets don’t kill with energy, so I don’t look into that like it’s gospel because different bullets react differently even though the energy figures are the same. In the OP scenario, 1100yrds would be max if you take into account velocity at impact. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
