[QUOTE="SBruce, post: 463937, member: 21068"] I hate to do a "beat a dead horse" kind of reply, but it's really about shot placement. I've taken buck antelope at somewhere around the 550 mark with 25-06 and 115 Nosler BT's. Many many other antelope and deer in the 400-500 range with same bullet..................they were all broadside lung/heart shots. I think the max range depends on the angle of the shot, and whouldn't hesitate to shoot 600 yds if I had good shot presentation/opportunity. On the other hand, I wouldn't attempt a sharply quartering shot at anywhere near that distance with my 25-06's. [/QUOTE]
