Mine works great with Sierra 69gr. matchkings and AA2230-C at 2900 fps. As for effective range, the F class guys around here use it regularly to 600 yards and sometimes 800. But if there's any wind you're giving up a lot to the 6.5mm and up shooters. Of course punching holes in paper is different from using it on game.
