    A rifles limits is primarily set by a persons ability though eh....(ignoring ballistics etc).

    That said, I think I'm at the stage of pushing my rifle/setup to its limits. At around 5-550 yards my projectiles speed drops below 1800fps and 1000 ft/lbs of energy. I would like to shoot a deer past 500 yards with this rifle but the opportunity hasn't arisen as yet. I have seen many deer around that distance but often in less than ideal conditions.

    Practise is the key - I have spent a lot of time shooting alot of rounds at steel targets confirming drops/drifts in a variety of conditions and have confidence in my ability and setup.
