Get something heavier, better energy and buck the wind. You need it.

One man's opinion.


It has plenty of energy to get to 800-900 yards depending on bullets. Actually it only has roughly 150 ft/lbs difference at 1000 yards comparing it to a .308. Ballistics coefficient has much more to do with it than weight.
