[QUOTE="the teacher, post: 517829, member: 34142"] What a question! You are opening up a can of worms. I think you should be asking "what load can I come up with that can kill [I][B]any[/B][/I] antlered game at 500yds"? You are not limiting yourself to mulies are you? Develop an accurate load that is easy on your shoulder (Start at 2700 fps with the heavier bullets) and then practice, practice, practice with it. You will remove a lot of frustration and guess work if you find one good load/bullet and make it your baby. Go out and shoot steel and rocks out to 6 and 700yds. Then 4 and 500 will seem like child's play. But I would say that a good 160-180 gr should kill everything from antelope to moose with the 7mag inside of 500yds w/ any kind of vital hit IMHO. Select a bullet with a good BC (around .500 or better) and you will have lots of energy working for you. [/QUOTE]
