I shot a 10 point this year at 403 ranged yards with my Ruger 7MM mag shooting a 140 grin Acuubond and dropped him in his tracks. On my Lease a 200 yard shot is concidered close in. But I do admit I shoot allot and at ranges out to 600 yards and would not recommend shooting these distances unless you really know your rifle and Pracitce allot with it.
