[QUOTE="Frog4aday, post: 1600157, member: 9308"] Hey Brydawg, in answer to your first request you've been told about the HORNADY 162 Grain ELD-X PRECISION HUNTER, which is a great choice. Another 'possible' option is the HSM TROPHY GOLD 168 grain BERGER HUNTING VLD HOLLOW POINT BOAT TAIL. Both of these factory loaded options would have the capability to take the game you are considering at 650 to 700 yards. Whether your rifle possesses the accuracy to do so and whether you have the skill to do so is entirely up to you to figure out. But that's two choices to at least test and 'see' how things go. As I read this, you are looking to PLINK out to 1000 yards and that sounds fun to me. Just casual shooting to see what you can (or can't) hit at 1000 yards. Since the goal is just PLINKING, then whatever ammo you can find that meets your budgetary goals would work. You can then figure out the trajectory/drop figures for the ammo you bought (along with wind drift info) and go have fun PLINKING at 1000 yards with it. It's just plinking for fun, so no need to overthink it too much. I hope you get some ammo to go test your rifle out and see what it can do. Would love to hear back once you've had a chance to fire some rounds to see how the 'old' Win 70 shoots. Best of luck. [/QUOTE]
