[QUOTE="Jnm300ultra, post: 3068352, member: 88071"] My advice is, go to JBM ballistic calculator and enter all the data you need and see what the minimum energy level is at a 1000 yards. Enter the bullet speed, the bullet, BC, the barrel length, and the altitude you will be shooting it. this will tell you the energy at 1000 yards. The drop in the speed of the bullet at impact. Also the amount of energy at impact. my advice would be the 300 RUM 338 RUM, the 300 Norma 28 Nosler, 7 STW, 300 PRC, 300 Win Mag and 7PRC. The 300 PRC, the 300 win and seven PRC I would pay attention to the barrel length and bullet selection for enough energy for 1000 yards kill. An example of this is if you were trying to shoot a 300 win mag with 180 Barnes TTSX verse a Berger hybrid 215. The hybrid will have more energy and the 180 Barnes will not have enough energy. Good luck with your new rifle build. Jason [/QUOTE]
