My only doubt, is 500 meters from an 06, but again, just a concern, as I've not run bullet tests or seen the data.

I know what my an 85 XBT did from my 20" 243 on a hog at 240yds.

Again, I know Most game is shot far shy of 500 meters, and many rounds are GTG to around 400 with shot placement, but being a light mono (lower BC) my concern would focus on expansion, penetration should not be the issue.

JB is right on the wind issue, as placement is always key to reaching and destroying vitals. Placement, penetration, then expansion........

397 yds, above, 280AI, 140 TTSX, Mulie, double lunged....hitting bone promotes mono expansion. Just one situation. I say, hard bullets - aim for hard tissue/bone, soft bullets are better on soft tissue...
