[QUOTE="yorke-1, post: 2712818, member: 11960"] Those performance numbers are easy to hit. I shoot a 338/375 Ruger, very similar to a 33 Nosler, in an 18” barreled specialty pistol. I’ve been shooting a 250gr SMK at about 2650 fps for years. That load would be right at 1500 fpe at 800 yards. Recoil is very manageable, imo. I have another load shooting a 200gr Apex Afterburner at 3015 fps that wold have very similar numbers at 800 yards, but offer reduced recoil. Any of the other lightweight, high bc bullets from Cutting Edge or Badlands would accomplish the same performance at 800 yards with manageable recoil. [/QUOTE]
