[QUOTE="jpndave, post: 3041048, member: 5437"] If you are handloading in a bolt gun, 6mm ARC speeds of 2650fps are attainable with a 16.1" barrel and the 103 ELD-X. Still over 2000fps at 400yds. Your 1600fps cutoff takes it to 700yds. I wouldn't push it to that on deer with only 586ft/lbs energy but the bullet should up open to that distance. A little more barrel would be better still.
