[QUOTE="Hired Gun, post: 124511, member: 1290"] The trick to flat shooting at 400 yards is all about velocity. Any round that will do around 4000 fps is going to be as flat as the next to 400 yards. Now you just have to decide what you want to happen when the bullet gets there. A light projectile will do minimal pelt damage where a heavier one will give a lot more graphic results. If it was my choice a 26" barreled 257Wby with 75 grain V-Max's right at 4000 fps is most efficient dog medicine. If you want real graphics a 300Wby with 110 grain Hornady spitzers at 4000 is a proven dog vaporizer. [/QUOTE]
