[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 778085, member: 61747"] Perhaps you can find out the speed of your bullet and the weight, brand, etc and give that info. Correct me if I am wrong but these things along with BC will give you a bunch of numbers to study. If you don't have a chrono just use the bullet drop in inches from zero (100?) to say 400 yards. I tend to think you are shooting around 2600-2650 fps. Probably 165 gr Nosler with a BC around .450. I am curious about the answers to this as well. For example I have seen a couple of videos where elk are taken from 900- 1000 yards with a 6.5 x 284 and the cow had 3 shots, all complete pass throughs. I was surprised about that especially considering it was a 120g Barnes bullet. Energy had to be around 750. [/QUOTE]
