[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 384742, member: 505"] Depends on how far you want to shoot one. Inside 800 yards my 257 STW shooting a 100 grain swift .429 bc at 3885 fps is point blank to over 500 yards on deer and antelope. My 264 STW shooting the 130 swift .572 bc at 3575 fps also is excellent. Took one last year at 813 yards with my 338-378. A 185 grain Barnes TTSX .432 bc at 3750 fps is incredible at 800 yards. If you want to shoot one way out there beyond 800 yards and you have a lapua then you are good. Where I hunted last year the antelope were very spooked and hunters had trouble getting within a half mile of them. They would be on a dead run from a vehicle at a mile away. On opening day out of a camp of over 25 hunters there were three antelope taken and all three guys had big guns that shot a long way. Longest shot was over 1100 yards opening day with a 7mm STW. A guy from Casper made that shot with a 25 pound target rifle. Sometimes having a big gun pays off. [/QUOTE]
