lr 270 question

It'll do it, as long as you practice and make sure the gun can shoot that good at those distances.

Here's some sample data.

140 grain, BC .490 travelling at 2900fps at muzzle.

at 625 yards you have roughly 1069 ftlbs of energy (I've seen them killed with 500 ftlbs) Bullet is travelling at 1800 fps at 625 and you have 88" of drop . Yup that's 7.3 feet, so hopefully you're using a mildot scope or something with target knobs on it? Just holding high doesn't fly at those distances obviously, so you need the proper glass along with a gun that actually will shoot at those distances. Only way to know is to try it with some field testing
