[QUOTE="FEENIX, post: 3012149, member: 14204"] If you answered the question below even as an intended purpose/goal, you will yield better responses/recommendations. For instance, using a short action, you aim to harvest an elk-size game at 1000Y. As noted, I propel the 215 Berger at 2850 FPS out of my .300 WSM with 24" barrel. [B]"My"[/B] unwritten rule for my setup is 1000 FT-LBS for deer, 1500 FT-LBS, and >1600 FPS at the point of impact. So, for me, it's 1200Y for deer and 1000Y for elk. [ATTACH type="full" alt="1705894721773.png"]535673[/ATTACH] I use heavy bullets on most of my rifles. 145s on my .257 WBY 156s on my .264 WM 175s on my .270 AI 175s on my 7MM SAUM 215s on my .300 WMs/WSMs 230s on my .30 LARA 225s on my .338 WM 300s on my .338 Thor [/QUOTE]
