That’s exactly what I’m getting. My rifle really likes the 150gr ABLR’s at just over 3000fps, 5 shots under 3/4” @ 100yds and got me a pass thru on a bull moose at around the 250yd mark last year.
Proper bullet selection is key, especially out past 500yds. I recovered a TTSX from a shot in the 720yd range from a 280rem and it almost looked like I could reload it. If you’re going to shoot long range just make sure you pick a bullet designed for long range shooting, more specifically long range Hunting.
