How Far Will a 240gr Bullet Travel Out Of a MLer?
I've been meaning to ask this question for awhile now and keep forgetting to. How far (Guestimate) shot from a MLer will a 240gr, 250gr Bullet Travel, Say using 100gr's of Powder?
I Hunt a few Corn and Soybean Fields that are a Mile Long and Longer, bordered by Woods. My Buddy say's if you Miss a Deer standing in the Field the Bullet will go as fas as the Woods on the other side (a mile) I say No, it will drop into the Field befor it ever gets that far, who's right? Also after about what distance the Bullet travels does it's effectiveness become unharmful. Im thinking you need at least 800ft lbs of energy (the least) to Harvest a Deer, after what distance (yds) does the FT Lbs get so low that it's too low. Use the 250gr Bullet and 100gr's of Powder for this one.
