[QUOTE="kcebcj, post: 290564, member: 10391"] I think the first thing to look at is the bullet and see where its velocity performance numbers are. Accubond recommends impact velocity’s no less than 1800 fps. Having that then I look to see where the 1500 ft lbs (recommend low for elk size game) energy number is in relation to the velocity. I then find the yardage where the two numbers are acceptable and use that number as a max range. I’m working on a load for a new 300 Win Mag and without any real testing FFS is showing the max yardage at 820 for the 200gr Accubond velocity @ 1859 and energy @ 1495 and momentum @52.43. If that was a proven load then 820 yards would be my maximum range for elk. [/QUOTE]
