[QUOTE="4ked Horn, post: 419326, member: 11"] Thanks guys. Rocky that (1800 fps) puts me out at 535 yards. That's a fair poke and about what I was expecting (hoping for) as a reasonable distance. J E based on your guideline of 1500 ft/lbs of energy my chart puts that at 425 yards. I would love to hear from others and am hoping that a representative from Berger responds to an email I sent by responding here but based on what we have so far I am loosely concocting a plan to limit my first shot on an elk to about 400/450 yards (or less) thereby giving me about a 100 yard "safety zone " for any possible follow up shots out to around 500/550 and still expect proper expansion. Any other thoughts? [/QUOTE]
