That's really hard to say without shooting them. I ran them through a ballistic calculator with a BC of .207 and a velocity of 1923... There would be a drop of -4.69 at 150 yards and -13.63 at 200 yards for a 250 grain Barnes Expander. I personally would guess more then that.That is why there is nothing that beats range time...
