    About 500m max on the bigger stuff. A little further for nanies etc. depends on your bullet choice. Only go further than that if you have experience with making correct wind calls and have tested you bullets expansion on lighter game before you take on these bigger game.
    We’re not talking about what it might take down it’s what it will take down every time with minimal wind deflection in light wind.
    I’ve tested bullets in my 270. And the Barnes lrx etc expands 1/2 the bullet at 280m but only 1/4 at 425m. I haven’t found one in the dirt at 725m yet. But I expect it would hardly open up at all. So it’s likely to do little damage.
