[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 1299780, member: 30671"] The .340 Weatherby is a good cartridge. What will determine "range" will depend greatly on the rest of the set ups potential. Good optics as has been stated. Spending time on that 800 yard range will clear up some of that. The workhorse of all of it is the bullet, terminal velocity matters. Rough numbers on a common bullet, and load, the 250 grain Accubond velocity is right at the 1800 fps the manufacturer recommends as minimum for expansion at 700 yards. Variables exist, other bullets, with different BC's and physical properties, may stretch that. The 600-700 yard limit as has been stated is a good one to start with. [/QUOTE]
