[QUOTE="Capt RB, post: 1407455, member: 85987"] My longest deer shot was about 310 with the bt. 270win/130 @ 3150ish. It's close to 3200 in the summer and I've seen 3080 in near 0 temps for that same load. It has killed everything I've hit rather dramatically. Used it for crop depredation permits for a bunch of years. 25ish doing that 150 to the 310ish yard range. Dad has piled up a bunch with that same load mostly inside of 100yds though. If your velocity is within the envelope you will be fine. Push it too hard and it can unravel. Standard cases are very hard pressed to do that though. Not having enough velocity means less hydrostatic shock transfer. In a smaller bullet that's an issue due to tiny bullet holes equating minimal blood trail. If your going to regularly shoot to 500 and beyond you need more energy on target than your current set-up will provide. If you can manipulate that with a powder change for more velocity with the same accuracy great. If not 1,limit the shot distance and presentation or 2 move to a more powerful cartridge [/QUOTE]
