[QUOTE="OG10, post: 1974400, member: 54584"] Are you talking 70-90 lb Texas hil country does ?Or are you talking 250 lb and up northern deer? Field conditions rarely equal bench shooting.Energy and speed mean nothing bc is irrelevant if you can not make a clean and ethical shot.This has been stated by many, so go shoot your rifle and honestly determine your limits based on your shoting skill.I personaly limit my 6.5 with 140 eldm to 500 yards in perfect conditions and practice past that distance alot unlike some .Go put some rounds down range at 4,5,6 hundred yards and see how you do then stand up and shot off hand, at the same distance some where in there you find your happy zone.What conditions, and how you hunt will limit your max distance more than charts and graphs.Just a thought.
