I don't outright know the answer to your question. But...I shoot that bullet in my 260, which is a Ruger 77 Compact with a 16.5 inch barrel. What I don't know is the twist rate in that rifle. I guess I could go check or maybe Google it up.

As for range, I've only used it on critters to about 400, so that still doesn't answer your question.
