okay within 300 meters with correct projectile will drop big reds okay but push that calibre any further then you have problems - and if any one wants to argue that please dont advise new hunters on here that 6.5 crudmore is the be all and end all that's irresponsible - why do we have the real long range calibers like 7mm magnum - 300 magnum because they work thats why - 6.5 crudmore will do what you ask out to 300 metres after that - get a real caliber and drop your deer safely
