[QUOTE="buzby, post: 3045769, member: 120420"] The minimum velocity for expansion from the manufacturer of the bullet you choose will give you your technical distance limit. It’s different from bullet to bullet, so you need to know what it is for the specific one you are using. You will have to use a chrono and a ballistic calc to determine at what distance the bullet will drop below this speed. No bullet manufacture will give you any energy numbers for their bullets. It’s just not relevant despite what numbers people [I]feel[/I] they like. It is not a quantifiable measurement. Bullet performance at a given speed is quantifiable, and that’s what the manufactures use. Subjectively, your marksmanship in field positions, and ability to judge wind will be your limiting factor for distance. [/QUOTE]
