Im looking for something that will reach out to 400 yrds, flat. I will use it for hogs, and whitetail. Im concerned with close up shots, as well, causing the bullet to splater. Where I will be hunting with this gun, ill get shots as far as im capable of shooting, and some as close as 10 yards. Im going to spend all summer practicing long range shots. 350 to 400 yards. I feel comfortable making 300 yard shots with my good old 30-06. Got a new 300 wby and want to use it on some of my land that has visability for miles.
