If it is the case, and if you are not shooting past 400 m, then maybe a more intermediate bullet would suit better.
How is that rifle shooting by the way?

Best to talk velocities that bullets are frangible at rather than ranges to keep things clear. The velocities you would expect from a 708 would have the amax at very good performance velocities within the desired ranges.
