[QUOTE="Dave King, post: 228, member: 3"] Chris I don't know what altitude or temperature range you hunt in but I'd say a 300 Win mag pushing a 180 grain .5 BC bullet should still have over 1000 ft/lbs at 1000 yards. I have no idea what your criteria are for determining a cartridge's effectiveness or capabilities so I state the 1000 ft lbs 'rule'. I personally don't adhere to this 'rule' as shot placement is far more effective than runamok energy. A 300 Win mag with an accurate bullet/load would be good for ranges exceeding 1000 yards IMHO.
