[QUOTE="jimbires, post: 1408077, member: 11011"] I would shoot targets further , but not hunt with . between shooting off the reticle , and getting low in velocity , it looks like bad things could happen. for longer range hunting I have a 338 lapua shooting 300 gr Bergers at 2930 FPS .that has a better scope ,and weighs more . I shoot the 139's in my 7mm-08 Tikka . I have them shooting at 2800FPS . at 400 yards I'm down to 2050 FPS and 1300 energy . this is where I draw the line , the bullet should work . at 550 yards I have 1800 FPS and 1000 energy , this is the minimum , I don't want to go there . this past season I hunted deer in Kansas , for the first time . I didn't know what to expect . I decided to use my 7mm rem mag , and load a 154 interlock bullet . I worked up a load at 3100 FPS . at 550 yards it has 2000 FPS and about 1300 energy . this is where I drew the line on this combo . for longer range hunting you need to be able to put the bullet where it needs to go , and have enough velocity to make the bullet expand .
