The Max. Kill Zone on a deer is 12" ; you subtract + or - 2" for error; your pratical kill zone is 8" , and your Max. Point Blank Range (MPBR) is 4" . Now you set your scope so the bullet does not rise higher than 4" at any time. If it drops more than 4" you should then compensate. It is wise to use a range finder for shots over your MPBR. I have used MPBR, and it has never failed me.

For Elk MPBR is 9" but I go with 7" .

For Antelope MPBR is 3" .

If one takes the time to really really pratice using MPBR, they should have no problem at long range shots.

If you can' t make the long range shot don' t do it, but if you have the confidence in your rifle and your self go for it. Good luck.
