[QUOTE="wilkup, post: 963426, member: 74276"] Been away for the past few months (at least not logged in) but have a neat build I'm hoping to pick up in the next couple of weeks. For those who don't know, I live in the northwest/WA, and don't plan to be hunting out of the lower 48 anytime soon, at least with this rifle. I'd like some help on this bullet if anyone's had the opportunity to try these on big game (bears, elk, deer, etc) and what range you were shooting with them. I'm intrigued by the HIGH BC they offer while not increasing the weight of the round tremendously. I'd like this combo to be capable of dropping a 200+ lbs buck out to 800yd during the high country hunt (Alpine Lakes Wilderness for the locals) later at the end of the summer, as well as an elk from up in the same area. When I run this round through the ballistic program assuming it's starting at 3200FPS and considering altitude, it's showing 1500FT-LBS out to this distance and it's still chugging along at a brisk 2200FPS. Do you think the bullet will perform well at this range on these two beasts? Truthfully, I probably won't shoot either at anymore than 650yd but it'd be nice to know I had the ability if I wasn't able to scoot in any closer. [/QUOTE]
