[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1080094, member: 10755"] Although a 165gr pill will work, it will be surpassed downrange by either a 180gr or 200gr pill as they have better BC. Beyond 300yrds or so, even though they start out slower, either heavier pill is a better option, in fact, the 200gr weight is optimum for this cartridges velocity. Heavier bullets work too at longer ranges due to less drift, but at the expense of optimum velocity and energy. Meat damage will be substantial and may prove excessive at close range with 165's. Not my first choice for deer or elk. Cheers. lightbulb [/QUOTE]
