Grizzlee, Yes we are shooting at 500 yard rams. He told me he's never had one fail to fall when he hit it. The practice at our club is to set the rams light....that is the back side of the foot hanging off the stand. We do that because we have many shooters using 38-55 rifles with 330 grain bullets and those sometimes would not take down a ram. There are a bunch of us who shoot the whole silhouette string offhand, so my friend with the 1917 is probably getting an average of about 3 rams per match.
