[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 1017740, member: 30671"] Using rough numbers, and the G7 calculator at the top of the page, the 180 Berger, at 2900 fps, at 1000 yards is still going 1800 fps and yielding 1300 foot pounds energy. I've never been a fan of foot pounds being worth a lot, the 1800 fps should still expand a Berger, placed where you want it I'd say it's good enough. Hopefully someone first hand will kick in. Barrel life would be in the back of my mind, if it shoots good now, will it still be next fall? [/QUOTE]
