[QUOTE="vancewalker007, post: 2042539, member: 66917"] This is simple. You need a minimum velocity # to ensure the bullet will open and do its job, which is mushroom symmetrically and travel in a straight line. With most flat based copper and lead bullets this is usually 2000-1800 fps. Nosler likely has very solid data on this point. Make that distance your max and stick to it in the field. If it doesn't match your desire to shoot a 1000 yards then use a bullet that can. Then go out and shoot on field rests a lot to prove to yourself you can get the job done at your desired ranges. Shooting at a game animal at that distance is not and easy task with a lot of factors like wind and the ability to get a rock solid rest. Good luck I hope you find a combination that works. [/QUOTE]
