[QUOTE="jrock, post: 2168054, member: 78569"] I use 1600 fps in my calcs and it takes me to 1200 - 1300 yards with 250 to 300 grain high BC bullets. The 338NM is a freight train. I have a hard time believing it wouldn't kill based on the weight of the projectile alone. If you use velocity as your primary criteria, you will find a bullet with half the weight can easily have 1600+ fps at 1000 yards. Then you have to decide how much energy you want to dish out at that range. I recommend to consider the amount of recoil and recoil reduction methods you may want to use in your choice. [/QUOTE]
