[QUOTE="del2les, post: 2680685, member: 9299"] The 445 SM in rifle length barrels can achieve 2,100fps with 240 XTP's, and that load still has just over 1,000ft/lbs of energy at 200 yards. With a 100yd zero, it is only about 4" low at 150yds and 10-12" low at 200yds, so it would be more than sufficient for your needs. Lighter and faster bullets in the 200-220gr would flatten the trajectory a little more. I've used the 357Max with 180-200gr bullets in 14" Contenders well past the 200yd range with good results, and even the old standby 44 Mag from 10-14" barrels with 180-200gr bullets. [/QUOTE]
