[QUOTE="NEMTHunter, post: 1619617, member: 77631"] My 06 does about 2850 with the 215 And 28" barrel the 300 does 3050 to 3100 with the same bullet and barrel length depending on powder. That puts my 06 @ 1600FPS @ 1160 yards And hits 1080FPS @ 1800 Yards Figuring 3050 for the 300 win @1600 FPS is 1320 yards And 1080 FPS @ 1960 yards. The 300 win extends that range about 160 yards. And its about 165FPS faster @1160 yards then my 06. That makes more killing power. And in the LR department that's good. But since the OP said 400 yards the 300 win is overkill. Because of what I can do with the 06 I have not felt the need to move up to the 300win mag. Not a big enough jump. Thats why I now have a 300 mag that can move a 230 grain bullet over 3400 fps.... Now thats a jump! [/QUOTE]
