[QUOTE="el matador, post: 1287563, member: 12193"] I like to use impact velocity for determining max range on game. 1800 fps is a good number for most bullets. So for example: 150 grain SST, MV 2700 fps, hits 1800 fps at 550 yards 168 grain ELD Match, MV 2600 fps, hits 1800 fps at 610 yards 178 grain ELD Match, MV 2500 fps, hits 1800 fps at 560 yards You can fiddle around with BCs and muzzle velocity a little but I would treat your average .308 as a 500-600 yard gun. Some bullets will supposedly expand at velocities well below 1800 fps so you can maybe stretch that out if you really want. [/QUOTE]
