[QUOTE="varmintH8R, post: 769297, member: 39801"] I also pulled out the reloading manuals. Both Lyman and Hornady have 7-08 data in the T/C Encore with a 15" barrel Lyman - fastest max load w/ 140gr bullet = 2584fps Hornady - 4 listed powders in the 2500's, one in the 2600's So based on this I would assume you can get right around or slightly less than 2600fps with a 16" tube. Using the generally accepted criteria of 1000 ft lbs of energy as the minimum for deer sized game, max range would be around 400 yds Hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
