[QUOTE="Tikkamike, post: 944450, member: 22242"] If you don't mind me asking where did those 2 arbitrary numbers come from? .600 b&c and 2900 FPS. I and a lot of other people here have killed animals over 1000 with 300 grain bullets out of big 338's going 2700-2800 FPS... Given the bullets are typically a smk or vld with a bc of 760+... But I also use a lot of heavy Barnes bullet. Last year I used a 338 win exclusively with 225 ttsx at 2750fps and killed a couple of deer in the 600's and an elk at 425 and another at 880 yards. That doesn't meet any of your criteria and I didn't feel at a disadvantage one bit. I used to shoot my 7mm with partitions a lot I don't know what the bc is but it's not 600. And i killed a lot of elk around 5-600 yards with it too... [/QUOTE]
