[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 259661, member: 8"] Some of it will depend upon what twist barrel you use. With a 1-8 twist you will be able to stabilize the higher BC bullets which will help. The bullets that are usually used are the 95, 105 and 115 Berger, the 105 A-Max and the Sierra 107 MK. Any of these should be fine out to 1K. The chief issue on range is wind. It nearly always blows and makes shots over 600 yards very difficult. Of course you will need a very good rangefinder such as the Swaro to actually get an antelope ranged in flat country at distances of 800 yards to 1K. [/QUOTE]
