...many, many, many feet!
I watched my buddy pop a 22 lb. gobbler at 210 yds ranged by laser with a 17 HMR from a 14" scoped contender and that bird fell over dead! POW! If I had not been there I would have called him a liar. In the right hands that little tic-tac can and will wreak havoc on medium sized game.
Don't underestimate the power of speed. 2500 FPS is enough for most situations. God bless Dave Emary of Hornady.
Thanx,
Jimmy
