[QUOTE="Wachsmann, post: 2697548, member: 10429"] For me it’s all about tinkering around to see what a caliber is capable of. I have a 300 Rum that is my go to for any heavy game at long range. I run anything from a 210 to a 230 grain in it. But I also have a 7-08 shorting 168 that I would shoot to some longer than normal (long range) distance if it’s my only shot and it’s a good broad side shot. Not only velocity, but bullet construction kills also. How well does a bullet do at slower than normal velocity. What is it capable of at a given distance. The ABLR is supposed to open up at 1300fps. Not going that slow but 1600fps has been proven to be reliable. Setting here in meridian Idaho that puts me today at 940yards according to the applied ballistic app. There are also several 10 and 20% gel test on YouTube to show what they do at 1600fps or lower.
