[QUOTE="angus-5024, post: 860468, member: 10306"] Whenever you wonder how far you can shoot at a game animal the questions to ask are 1- can I hit the vitals 100% of the time at that range in the SAME conditions? This includes temperature swings (POI of the rifle CHANGE) and of course WIND! 2-Do I have enough energy/momentum? 3-Do I have enough impact velocity to make the bullet open reliably? 4-Can I recover this animal The manufacturer will have a minimum expansion velocity on the box/website, then just look to you ballistics charts and see how much velocity you should have at that distance. I always come in a few hundred just to be sure. And yes you can certainly shoot a light gun at long range... you just gotta be cut from the right cloth. [/QUOTE]
