[QUOTE="3fingervic, post: 523108, member: 16685"] I typed it into Hornady's ballistic calculator and came up with this. I used your velocity and found the BC .336 on the Barnes site. At 300 yards the fps. is 2251 and the ft lbs will be at 1125 400 yds.- 2015 fps 901 ft lbs 500 yds.- 1794 fps 715 ft lbs 600 yds.- 1592 fps 563 ft lbs 700 yds.- 1411 fps 442 ft lbs I have heard that a good guideline for deer is 1,600 fps. I also have read that 1,000 ft. lbs. are needed. I think it is up to you on how far you are willing to push it. If it were me, 400 yard would be it for mule deer. [/QUOTE]
