[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 2481412, member: 61747"] Yeah I see a min of 1k and 1500 on the 2 schools of thought. 1250 hits the middle. I also agree with it and believe high sectional density bullets have a better chance with deep penetration. A 6.5 prc running a 156 at 3000 hits 1372 at 1000 in my neck of the woods. That’s not high elevation either. Step into high country and it’s 1425. My prc’s run short barrels so I’m not getting those speeds. 2920 in a 22” Puts it at 1337. My 18 at 2820 is 1213. I run 135’s for wolf and they hit 1143. On paper it looks ok, but I’d not poke an elk at 1k with a 135 and likely not a 156 either. 999 maybe. [/QUOTE]
