[QUOTE="Kennibear, post: 908313, member: 51650"] All of the posts prior to mine are excellent. But maybe you can apply a 'design spiral' to come to your conclusion. 1) Make some basic assumptions. I can shoot this far accurately, etc. 2) Determine the minimum energy level you are comfortable with. 3) Determine the lowest velocity of reliable expansion of the selected bullet. 4) Determine the lowest velocity that the selected bullet retains your energy threshold. 5) Your maximum range is the yardage that the velocity drops below either #3 or #4 above, which ever is higher.
