[QUOTE="frequent misser, post: 468722, member: 5295"] I have a buddy shooting a 6.5x284. I load a 140 amax at 3050 for him. A couple of weeks ago we went out and shot some steel targets from 700 out to 1150 yds. I can tell you at 1150 that 6.5 still cratered that plate. We recovered one of his bullets from that range and it had mushroomed and expanded nicely. I wouldn't hesitate to pop a deer sized animal at that range with it. The farthest I have seen a deer shot with that round was just under 600 and it left a heck of hole thru the top of both front shoulders. Their are better rounds for that range but I believe your gun would do it if your capable. [/QUOTE]
