[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 435330, member: 307"] Well, I shoot a .243 alot and I'm not sure I'd want to shoot a deer much past 500dys. If you subscribe to the "1000 ft/lbs" of energy on game, 400yds is the limit with a 95gn Ballistic Tip launched at 3150fps. A 100gn Speer launched at 3100fps will get you to 500yds, energy wise. For long range with the .243, the heavier pills will get the job done. JohnnyK. [/QUOTE]
