[QUOTE="ThorThor, post: 1674213, member: 67938"] 800-1000 yards on mule deer - I would go 7mm at a minimum. Standard bolt face and Lon action I would go 280 AI. I have a 7mm ultra w a Berger 195 at 3100 and love it for long range on medium game. It carries very well out to those distances although 634 yards is as far as I have shot game with it (antelope). 800 plus yards is a long way to shoot anything live. Take a look at remaining energy and velocity at those ranges. Depending on bullet and initial velocity you may be under 1000 ft lbs of energy at those ranges. [/QUOTE]
