I'm trying to get ready to start competing in my local club's Lever Action meet. Iron sights at 50, 100, 150 and 200 yds using pistol, 30-30 or 35 Rem. cartridges. The 200 yd. target is a ram. I am using a 35 Rem. and a 200g cast bullet. Can anyone tell me what velocity is necessary to reliably knock over a ram at that distance using that combination, that is, if I can ever manage to hit one at that range.
