[QUOTE="backyardsniper, post: 855502, member: 20657"] 2955 is fast for a 300wm. with that weight of bullet. Mine has a 27" broughton 5c on a stiller tac 300 manners MCS-T badger thruster brake and jewel trigger. Nightforce F1 3.5-15. Just out of curiosity do you think 2900fps+ should be easily achievable with a set up like that. My real concern is not how far is to far but how close is too close as this seem to be the problem with the rapid expanding type bullets. I hope to stay on the outside of 300yds and inside 1000yds but you never know when one will walk out in your lap. Since this is my first elk hunt and likely my only elk hunt I wan to be prepared for that. I think they will hold up OK though in the unlikely event of a close encounter [/QUOTE]
