I would not try that trick!!! I have dropped deer in there tracks at 180+.... with a 250 gr. hornady and 110 gr. BH209
According to my charts, With a muzzle velocity of 2000 fps. at 200 yds. the bullet should still have 1065 ft. lbs of energy... and 750ft. lbs. at 300yds... plenty to kill a whitetail...
