[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1642869, member: 2736"] I guess you have been reading my mail :):):) This load is for the 7/08 and the muzzle velocity is 3000 ft/sec so impact velocity at normal distance is +/- 2800 ft/sec. My 7 RUM and STW however has a higher muzzle velocity and bullet weight in order to extend my distance beyond 1000 yards. So they would still fall into this Maximum impact velocity of 2800 ft/sec but is usable to 1800 ft/sec. In fact. I have two different loads for each of these rifles, One load is good for 100 to 400 yards where velocities can exceed 3700 ft/sec at the muzzle and require a well made bullet with controlled expansion and one expanding type bullet like the Ballistic Tip for expansion at long distances where some bullets would not expand dependably because of lower impact velocities. So My favorite impact velocity depends on many things but if I had to say what impact velocity I prefer, It would vary from game to game and distance to distance starting with the muzzle velocity potential of the cartridge and bullet used and the design of the bullet. I wish it was simple, but it's not. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
