Agreed 100% that velocity is lost quicker, which is why i think that a shot at more than 125 yards would not be appropiate. Wasnt trying to start 'the great debate', and I am not aiming that at anyone particular, but was just looking for someone with experiance with this shots' opinion. Was just stating that the ammo that I am using is capable of the shot, and me asthe shooter am capable of the shot (not a marksman, but I consider my self a pretty good shot, that ocassionally makes the same mistakes any hunter does, like flinch, or getting the fever).
