[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 564361, member: 13632"] I honestly don't think at your elevation your looking at an easy 1000yrd killing machine, you have the energy but your impact velocity is going to be low enough it may be a question more of having enough velocity to get the bullet opened to deliver that energy. That is why chambering in a 270 like the WSM or the 270 AI would be better, your impact velocity is high enough to deliver at your elevation. Roy mentioned a 6.5 Sherman, at a 1000yrds it delivers a 140 Berger 200fps faster with about the same energy but it will deliver it. It's a teeter totter, the 165's give us great BC but in the 270 win we've sacrificed just a little to much velocity to gain that BC but add some velocity and you have an ideal match, add a little more like the WSM or the Weatherby and you can utilize the BC that the 175 brings, which is flat awesome. Again accuracy is there to do it, the bullet is there you just have to give it what it needs for your application. [/QUOTE]
