I'm hoping to bloody the .240 this weekend on a deer (prob a doe) and maybe a hog. I'm anxious to see what a fast 80 gr. TTSX will do.

This gun is pretty good out to around 300+ yds. without a whole lot of Kentucky elevation. It holds 1,000 ft #'s of energy to around 400 yds. That little bullet, starting out fast, runs out of gas before it gets way out there.

For longer shots, I'm taking my 6.5-284 with 140 SST's @ 2950 fps. It has a turret calibrated to 600 yds. I don't think there's a need for a turret on the .240, just shoot it flat out to 300 or so and give it some elevation to 400. Beyond that, I may plink at a 'yote or hog, but wouldn't shoot a deer beyond 300-350. I have one stand where 400-450 yd. shots are a probability. I'll take the 6.5.
