We must determine our definition of “long distance”! Here are my personal requirements….. An accurate rifle, using a fairly high BC bullet upwards of .30 caliber, that will give adequate expansion at the pre-determined distance limit involved, lots of trigger time with said rifle, and carefully choosing good atmospheric conditions! When you’ve satisfied all those parameters……having, as in my case, over 2000 ft/pounds of remaining energy at my personal limit of 600 yards is desirable! memtb
Here's to ya.
2000 ft-lbs. at 600 yards, even for a heavy rifle, bumps me out of precision shooting.
1500 ft-lbs. at 600 yards, with a 9.5 lb rifle, is about it, and not all day long, either.
But the .270 Win. can do that, if one is careful.

FPE is irealavant quote such shows ignorance
Energy/Impact Velocity/Bullet Construction/Shot Placement - are the only things a hunter has.
... so your opinion is irrelevant.

You're long on theory and devoid of experience
Any thing from a 243 and up will work just fine with proper [bleep] placement which brings us the the lone requirement which is accuracy Just watch a few videos of the 243 dropping elk in their tracks at 800+ yards
