buy a few types of varmint ammo and see which shoots the best for your gun. That setup is more then capable of 400 yard shots its just a matter if you and your skills are up to the task.

I wait for it to close the distance and come to my call and then when it gets to 200 I put the crosshair dead on and squeeze
