The Federal 150gr TSX chrono'd at 2700fps from the Ruger Scout. That puts the effective range about 500-600 yards for deer.

In field conditions? Really?
BC .369.... MV of 2700?
You are looking at a flight time of almost 3/4 of a second, holdover (even from a 400 yard zero)and wind values measured in
feet ...... even assuming:
A rifle/load that shot to less than 2 MOA
a guarranteed stationary target-that deer better be asleep!
exact range known
wind values all the way to the target known, and the shooter know how to correct for them
zero error on the shooter's part
even if all that goes, by some miracle, perfectly, will a TSX bullet expand at less than 1500 f/sec?
I wouldn't try a 500 yard shot on a live animal with a .277 150 SGK leaving @ 2900 .......
