[QUOTE="greenejc, post: 1721107, member: 60453"] Feel free to do that right here. I know I use the Whelen with Speer 250's for shots on steel and targets out to 900 and 1000 yards and I'm sure that you use both the Ruger and the Whelen with heavy bullets for the same kinds of practice. And I assure you they'll kill better than any .308 and below other than the ultra-mag class at those distances. I don't expect to make shots like that on game, but I've killed game with the .35 at distances of 500 yards and more. Exit holes are impressive. I've also shot deer with a .58 cal. Hawken black powder rifle using a 550grain flat nosed mine ball. It will kill anything you can hit with the possible exception of Cape Buffalo and elephant at any distance you hit it at, and will always create a .578 sized entrance and a .75 inch exit wound. And nothing runs very far with an enormous sucking chest wound. [/QUOTE]
