[QUOTE="angus-5024, post: 847916, member: 10306"] I'm not sure how fast you can get something 180grain or bigger going (I would hope that you could make a 215 Berger work), but even with a very high b.c bullet in that chambering I think that your running out of steam at about 650 yards. Not to say that you cant kill the animal at that range, its just going to be a tracking fest and its hard enough to find your game when it drops DRT at 850. So the skinny of it is that I would fell OK at 650, but not 850. keep in mind that I lean towards overkill as opposed to underkill, so I would pick up a .300 win. [/QUOTE]
