The ballistic coefficient of the 160-grain .277" partition (.434) is better than either the 130-grain (.416) or 140-grain partitions' (.432) B.C. It's only slightly worse than the 150-grain partition's B.C. of .465. So, if the 160-grain partition shoots well in your rifle, I wouldn't worry about lack of long-range capability when it comes to big game hunting.
I guess I better state a caveat of what long-range means to me, which is about 400 yards when hunting big game.
