What do you all think the effective range of a 300 grain Swift A-frame factory load in a 460 S&W is on an illinois whitetail? I know the shooter must do his part and at 100 yards I?m getting around 2 inch groups with my encore pistol and scope currently. I can do better and am considering a trigger job to help accuracy a little bit. I shot hornady sst, xtp, handgun hunter as well as Barnes and swift today. Swift was hands down the most accurate for me. Thoughts?
If your shots are going to be 200 yards or under, it sounds like several people have answered your question already.
With that longer barrel, and increased MV's, maybe further.
The biggest determining factor is the ability of the shooter/hunter to keep shots in the vitals under pressure and on demand.
It would be important for you to actually group it at 150, 175, and 200 yards, to learn your drops, and how you can do group wise as things stretch out. Wind is another consideration past 100 yards too
