[QUOTE="xsn10s, post: 2298333, member: 95344"] That's where you may want to study up on terminal ballistics concerning your bullet and cartridge choice. I won't question you on hitting your mark. The question is what the speed of your bullet will be at your distances once it gets there. For me it looks like your velocity will be anywhere from upper 1300 fps at 900 yards to mid to upper 1200 fps at 1000 yards. Generally with open tip match bullets people are wanting 1800 fps for expansion. I've heard some polymer tip match bullets can expand at 1400 fps. I've not used them on big game at that velocity. You may consider your friend's 300 wm using that 215 Berger Hybrid. But don't trust my word on it, look into it yourself. Best of luck to you. And I pray your health improves. [/QUOTE]
