    again...if you rangefind and twiddle and fiddle......distance is pretty irrelevant if the projectile still has enough ooomph to deliver the kill.....
    if a certain fella can take deer out to 4-500 yards with a .308 and a 12" barrel........a 200grn out of either of the above going considerably quicker to begin with would make it childs play........but I dont shoot past 350ish anyway so its all acedemic.
