[QUOTE="Stgraves260, post: 1973010, member: 19988"] Looking at my Hornady Reloading book. If you can launch the 143 Grain ELDX with a G1-BC of .623 @ 2725 FPS I would say max range for deer is 850 yards. Hornady says there ELD bullets need 1600 FPS to expand properly. So that’s one of the important thangs to know the other is it takes 600 lbs of Kinetic energy to break I shoulder of a deer. So I would use that info. So if your 1100 ft above sea level you still have around 800 lb-ft and your 1600 FPS. [/QUOTE]
