Your 140 gr. bullet weight is on the ragged edge of not not being heavy enough. The retained energy at 800 yards is marginal.
well how do you figure its marginal? it retains 1383 ft/lbs at 800 and 1105 ft/lbs at 1000 Also, you do not have a .7 BC. Period. You don't have it with a G1 or G7 drag coefficient.
the berger 140 has a published G1 BC of .612, extensive testing while establishing my trajectory came up with an actual BC of .7 in other words to make my chart match my trajectory I had to bump the BC up or I was shooting 1/2 moa high out to my max. distance of 1100 yards. so do I have a BC of .7? couldn't care less what it is, long as the bullet goes where I want it
Using a factory trigger on a game animal at long is unwise, and in fact, unethical.
my smith tuned trigger breaks right at 2#, wouldn't want it less than that for hunting in the cool mornings wearing gloves, your ethics are yours, not mine thank you very much
Listen to me or not.
