I'm having my daughter shoot the Knight Elite 45 this year. I've worked up a load with 90 of BH209 and a 200 grain funnel point. I used 1.56 for my BC.

I'm guessing we'll have about 2000 fps at the muzzle. When I calculated the long range FPE it looks like it only has 770 at 150 yrds. We hunt is West Kansas and this would not be an unusual shot.

I was always under the impression you wanted at least 900 FPE for an ethical kill. That would give us a max range of 120 yards.
