[QUOTE="Wedgy, post: 2235434, member: 64108"] Hammer gives a very conservative velocity of 1,800 fps for expansion but they have not tested them below that so nobody really knows. Your load 3,000 fps MV stays above 1,800 fps to about ~830 yards at zero feet altitude and at 7,000 feet you are good to about 1,150 yards which should be plenty. Just plug in the values to any ballistics calculator and you can get a good idea of speed, drops, drift, etc. at whatever yardage. It will get you in the ball park but you have to validate before you go hunting. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.bergerbullets.com/ballistics/php/bb.php[/URL] [/QUOTE]
