What is the ballistic coefficient and velocity for the bullet?

That would help.

A 140 JHC from Sierra launched at 1800 f/sec loses a bout half of it's energy in the first hundred yards, and 20+% of it's remaining energy between 100 and 150 yards, and does not start with a lot to begin with...... It would not be legal to hunt with in my state (Nebraska)...... laws differ state to state- YMMV.
