[QUOTE="Tallest, post: 3021223, member: 102929"] Yes... closer than I would have thought. But a 30" barrel with a 250 grain A-Tip (where are you even finding those?) doesn't sound like an ideal hunting rifle. It may be that, at your altitude, with your gun, all the conditions are perfect to maximize the down-range energy of a souped up 30 cal magnum. However, in regards to the post I was commenting on, there is no 7mm that is going to be over 1200 ft lbs at a mile (1760 yds) under anything close to normal circumstances. Most hunting rifles shooting a 162 grain bullet are going to be in the 400-700 ft lbs range at that distance, and I feel that's pretty generous. [/QUOTE]
