[QUOTE="VLD Pilot, post: 2431113, member: 103947"] Wouldn't be the velocity(2400fps) or energy (900ft lbs) at 800 yards I'd be concerned with in harvesting a Big 140lb Male Wolf. What I'd be most concerned with is the elements causing a poor shot at that 1/2 mile range. Won't take much wind at 800 yards to steer that projectile off course vs a .257/.264/.284 heavier, higher BC bullet. Obviously if someone takes a 22-250AI on a Wolf hunt, I'd like to think they can shoot wind with that set up but it's reliability is much more unpredictable than a heavier bullet with a higher coefficient. Heavy for .257 or .264 would be my starting point. [/QUOTE]
