[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 861708, member: 25383"] a lot of what distance is usable is what you plan on doing with it. I use my Remington out to 350 yards on Coyotes, but wouldn't be afraid to try a 400 yard shot. Also the thought of a clean kill is important. I find 350 yards with a 55 grain bullet to be about it, but with a 12 twist barrel you might be able to shoot 60 grain bullets or better yet the 53 grain V-Max. My barrel is 20 inches long, and probably about two inches shorter than optimum. Still I see 3270fps with a 55 grain bullet, and it's not a max load. Still it's done at 400 yards when it comes to coyotes. If I could get 3400fps out of a 53 grain V-Max, that's where I would start. gary [/QUOTE]
