So, who regularly hunts past 600 yards...!?!
A plain ole 22" sporter rifle chambered in .270 WIN - loaded with factory Federal Premium low-tech 150 gr. Nosler Partition (BC=0.465) (SD=0.279) ammo with their mild 2800 fps at the muzzle?
...will still put a 1,000 Lb-Ft of Energy at expanding velocity into your "grazing-grocery" at 600 yards... and only drop 6-1/2' (-78") with a 200 yd. zero getting there.
And that same .270 WIN, loaded with factory Hornady Precision Hunter high-tech 145 gr. ELD-X (BC=0.536) (SD=0.270) ammo with their reasonable 2900 fps at the muzzle, would stretch that 1,000 Lb-Ft of Energy at expanding velocity into that "cut-over culinary" to 740 yards... and only drop 10' (-120") with a 200 yd. zero.
So, it seems to me that if one had a sweet shootin' .270 WIN that they shot well...?
They would be done.
