[QUOTE="SBruce, post: 666196, member: 21068"] Whatever distance inside 1000 yds that my bullet is still travelling at least 1800'/sec and the energy is around 1000 ft. lbs. or more. Also, one major [B]pre-requirement[/B] is that I can put the 1st shot (and a 2nd or 3rd if required) within a few inches of where I intended it to go, and have utmost confidence in that ability. That's[U] my[/U] [U]personal[/U] criteria for maximum distance (deer size game) on any high percentage shot ..........with any of my precision or LR rigs. Sure, the 338 AX will maintain that velocity and enegy way beyond 1000 yds, but I haven't practiced with it enough beyond 1000 to attempt it yet. Personally, given a choice; I'd rather the deer be looking at something instead of grazing. They're more likely to take a step when grazing compared to when they are intently studying something with their eyes or ears. [/QUOTE]
