If and i really mean if, your rifle likes a projectile that at 400 yrds is still in its effective FPS opening range, and is very accurate at that distance then use it.
Do some research on projectiles- Noslers ballistic tips, hornadys sst. Etc etc
You will build up some knowledge of what works at what velocity (barrel length) and then select your cartridge and caliber to suit.
Most buy a rifle then the ammo
I buy the projectile that smacks em down then get the rifle and chambering to push it out to where i want to use it.
I'm off to hunt sika now and am txting this in as i get cell reception so sorry for a lack of complexity in my reply .
