Everybody loved it for being fast, now they want heavier bullets, so whats that going to do,slow down the vel. it will shoot accurate with no wind at 200 yds. Like any caliber its got it limitatiions, it would kill a kote at taht distance if it was shot in the right jplace,but that stands true for anything. Try not to make it what it is not1 just really for small critters. Enjoy it for what it was made for,start trying varmits,ect. is not a fair clean kill to them. Thats why they make all kinds of cal. and guns. happy hunting. vangunsmith
