[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 75401, member: 8"] Antelope 450yds ( I think - it has been a long time and we all know that yards will grow with time if you don't keep 'em trimmed). Used 100 gr Nosler partition and some amount of H4831. Bang, flop. Used same bullet at under 50yds on antelope with same results. Jack rabbits - the name of the game was running shots not distance. Whacked lots of running jacks at 300yds with the 75 gr HP. It is nice and flat and fast. Groundhogs at 450yds (even longer ago) with 75 gr HP. Ghogs are very stubborn critters and shot placement needs to be very good with any caliber you shoot (IMHO) in order to prevent them from getting to the hole. Blood trails don't count. The little 75 HP will blow around in the wind. With good shot placement the 75 will really explode on them. With marginal hits they will get to the hole. As GG says there should be no problem in getting way on out with high BC bullets because you have a decent amount of case capacity to shove powder into. My opinion - as a 500-600 yd antelope to mule deer cartridge it is a good shooting, easy to reload cartridge. A really good long range varmint gun that will shoot further than most of us can shoot. For game teh Nosler 110 Accubond should be really fine and if I was to find a 25-06 laying on the sidewalk that is the first bullet I would try in it. [/QUOTE]
