Saying 200m is the limit of this round is a true understatement of this round. Last fall my first buck took my texas heart shot at approx. 150 meters out of my Ruger M77 in this cal. Dropped right on spot. The limit is the iron sight on SKS or whatever. With a properly mounted scope a bolt action can hit pretty hard. My SKS has taken quite a few things, but all were done within 100 meter range. Shootng at a range at a paper target is quite different from hunting. When you hunt, you just want to make surer, surer and surer that your first bullet would nail the bugger. Different comfort level.
