[QUOTE="bpcrshooter, post: 1304535, member: 100251"] first check your oal. my father had one and couldn't run anything longr than the 350 grain bullets, if you can the 350grain hp/solid nose from hornady will drop any deer you can find. I shoot a 45-100 and use a 545gr postell from brooks moulds and have taken elk moose deer,pig an they all drop within feet. dad is going buffalo hunting this fall (again:)) and will be using that bullet. I can get them out bout 1460fps and at 547yrds the mushroom to .998avg. course im using black powder, with smokless you shold be able to do much better if your shoulder can handle itgun) not saying its correct but ive shot more than a couple boxes of 325 ftx bullets out of my bfr and didnt shorten the cases. All shot well I just cant get them moving fast enough to open in a pistol........ as for distance your bullet will tell you how far you can shoot. the 300gr bullets will start to lose stability round 250-300yds the heavier the bullet the farther you will be able to shoot. i can for the most part hold 3min at 500 meters with mine. good luck [/QUOTE]
