[QUOTE="LVJ76, post: 1986381, member: 108965"] With a stiff load of H4350, RL16 or RL17 you can push a 160gr bullet at or past 2,700 fps. This will make a bullet Elk capable with 1,500 ft/lbs of energy out to 500 yds and for deer out to 750yds. Now this is on a 24" barrel and on custom built you can throw a 28" so provably even further. I think most of us just try to give advice based on our experience with this cartridge. And yes, skill and good judgement is needed to take a long range shot and that will be out to the OP and his niece. Stay safe [/QUOTE]
