according to my book the projectile is cranking out at 1785fps from the muzzle. At 100 yards, your still moving at 1505 and have 1257 in energy which is plenty. At 150 yards you've slowed down to 1382 and the energy has dropped to 1062 which is well above the number of 600 - 800. At 200 yards your zooming along at 1277 and the energy is still at 905. Finally at 250 yards you have reached 1185 in speed but are still at 780 for energy. With the right shot placement there is no reason why that load would not kill a Whitetail all the way out to 250 yards. I'm sorry the charts do not seem to post well, but I will do my best.. Hope this helps.
