[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 2271241, member: 109862"] That sounds realistic I know, to hit 4000 FPS would equate to over 4200 foot pounds of energy. While that energy level can be done with a 300 Winnie I’ve always heard of it with 200+ grainers, not lightweights. a man can dream though…. you’re right about not being disappointed though, I know that I just have been used to the freakishly accurate load I did up with the 225s but those don’t fit in the magazine and while their true long range ability will smoke any of the light monos, their point blank range isn’t amazing and, moment of truth time, while I’ve shot at targets further out, I’ve never taken game beyond 400 yards. Just haven’t ever needed to, can always get closer than that. So I came to my senses and thought, “what is the point of having this load that requires single feeding, even if it is supersonic to 2000 yards according to software - never actually shot anywhere close to that far to verify - when I almost certainly will never even want to try shooting live game beyond 600 or so?” Inside 600 that bowstring trajectory counts for a lot.
