[QUOTE="Deleted member 46119, post: 1117136"] You have a very broad range of case capacities in those cartridges. There are some high BC bullets available but most of these are setup for dangerous game type bullets. The 416/300 WSM would struggle to push 350 grainers to 2450fps in a normal length barrel. The 416 Weatherby would push that same 350 to more like 2900fps. Even the "slouch" of the bunch the WSM should be capable of 4500lb energy at the muzzle. Nothing to sneeze at. The Weatherby is closer to 6500lb. That would get your attention. After that if you are interested in drift and drop. Need more info on specific bullets preferred and barrel lengths. [/QUOTE]
