[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 193008, member: 10"] TrueBlue, That is correct within reason. Never do you want to push something to the red line as far as its performance limits. If you call a manufacturer and they tell you their bullets will expand at 1400 fps. Generally speaking, if I received that information, I would limit my range to around 1600 fps. Why? Added insurance. If the bullets are said to perform properly at 1400 fps, there will be no question at 1600 fps in all conditions. We need bullet performance and to insure it, I would rather limit my max range a bit to insure proper bullet performance. For most modern big game hunting cartridges, they will sustain plenty of velocity for proper bullet performance out to very long ranges. Certainly depends on the specific bullet but there are bullets out there that will perform over a VERY wide range of velocities. Perhaps the very best commerical bullet is the Accubond from Nolser.
