[QUOTE="Eaglet, post: 76044, member: 3756"] Fiftydriver, Wouldn't this be way beyond expected? I was playing with Ballistic Explorer and some "if's" and it got to where I was not sure I was using the program right! [b]If[/b] the 200 grainer with BC of 0.900 coming out at 3200 f/s can be shot accurately, the results would be amazing. [b]First[/b] at <font color="red"> [b]2500 yards[/b] </font> , yes that's not a mistake, at 2500 yards the bullet at sea level would have a velocity of [b]1155 ft/sec [/b] which is still supersonic since speed of sound at sea level is around 1116.4 f/s... If that's not impressive then I'm messed up! Also, It would have [b]1500 ft-lb[/b] of energy at [b]1414 yards[/b] ; <font color="blue">My 300 RUM using 200 grains Accubond at 3230 f/s produces 1500 ft-lb at 940 yards... that's impresive... not to mention 1500 ft-lb at [b]1414 yards[/b] </font> Some place I think I read goodgrouper saying you need 800 ft-lb to break the shoulders of a cow elk, and about 900 ft-lb to break the shoulders of an bull elk on a well placed shot.
