I know a few fellows that are running the 250 grain bergers in theres and they have made some long distance shots on antelope with this cartridge as well. Im going to use mine on everything from deer to moose. I thought i needed a 340 weatherby but im glad i kept this one just alot more user friendly imo.

I didn’t consider this chambering for long distance shots. But is nice to know it’s doable with the right bullets. I figured that I can’t see much past 300 yds anymore so I’ll try and find a good load with 210 partitions and go from there.
