[QUOTE="rjfunk, post: 563499, member: 22270"] I shoot 270 with 130 SST's at 3100 fps and am good out to about 600-650 yards (no experience yet with game taken at this range, but I'd be fairly confident on our Canadian sized deer). If you loaded up some 150 berger bullets to 2950 ftps (should be able to come close to that, depending on the rifle), you should be good to about 800. I think 1000 would be pushing the limit though for anything bigger than coyotes. Since you have the 270 already, and if it's accurate enough to shoot at those distances, why not try it. You'll need some decent optics to get you there as well. If you've never shot long distances before, you'll need to practice. Work your way up to 800 yards with the 270 and then move up to a larger caliber. [/QUOTE]
