[QUOTE="xsn10s, post: 1959827, member: 95344"] Boy it really depends on which 45gr HP you're using, but I'd guess around 400 yards for reliable kills. Maybe less. It all depends on bullet construction and where you hit them. I used 55gr BT's in my 22-250. Awesome kills on chucks and yotes 2-300 yards. At 450 yards it was a little too tough a construction for chucks, I walked up to a couple that were still alive with good hits. I stopped using them on longer shots for chucks after that, I think they just weren't expanding fast enough. But yotes I'd use them to 500 yards. So check the ballistics of your bullet and load/ velocity. And then see how accurately you can hit at distance. [/QUOTE]
