[QUOTE="Alan Griffith, post: 833014, member: 4686"] I don't believe a specific cartridge matters. Whether it leaves the muzzle at 2500 or 3500 fps. What matters is what distance the bullet travels down through 1800 fps or faster as bigngreen stated. But for ***** and giggles, I'll throw out my 6.5x47 where the MV is 2845. If I shoot at an elk at 10000' elev and the temp is 30 F, I'm going to hit 1800 fps at about 1460 yds. That is using Berger's G7 .313 BC in an 8 twist barrel. Alan [/QUOTE]
