[QUOTE="300rum, post: 1329762, member: 6231"] Yes I know and I'm fully aware... here we got elk season on oct 24 and we have pretty warm weather 40F and just 25.6inHg and at 2000 yards I have 1127fps with 845ft lbs left... So I will be fine = still at supersonic speeds Question is how will 300gr SMK will open up at 1200-1300 fps speed on games (double lung or high shoulder) Of course the distance will varied based on temperature, baro, humidity, Coriolis, azimuth, wind, etc. I'm not stuck at 2000 (I think was a bad example) what I mean is will 300 SMK open and do damage on elk size games at very low speeds (1200-1400fps)???? Will be a viable kill shot or the elk will walk away and I have to track him for hours? I want all my shots on games to get them on spot or max 10-20 yards walk from the impact , [/QUOTE]
