If you use 1600 fps as a velocity the bullet still expands and 1000 foot pounds of energy you have a range of about 750m or over 800 yards for deer hunting.
Did the previous post on a cell phone. This is a better chart.

Ran the same data on the Hornady 4dof app and got a different result. There data states at 900m a velocity of 1812 fps and 1043 foot pounds. Hmm strange I am inclined to trust the applied ballistics data over the hornady data.
