[QUOTE="Wild Bill G, post: 1298140, member: 96281"] It used to be be said a minimum of 1000ft/lbs should be used to kill a deer none of these rifles will have that at 800yds. Is there a new standard as it takes a heavy magnum to meet this reqirement. I have also heard a lot of companies like 1800fos for reliable bullet expansion. If these things are still rules of thumb we need to be looking at bigger guns than the 270 and 6.5-06 for his task. [/QUOTE]
