Here is my .02
GS Custom HV hunting bullets 40gr
4300fps to 4400fps
.2 bc
Required twist= 14
Proven on deer size African game out to 400 meters
Using JBM calculations @ 3000 ft elevation, and 4300 fps muzzle vel.
300yrd zero renders a 400yrd point blank range, in other words 7" low at 400 yards with impact velocity of 2400 fps.
full value wind @ 400yrds= 17.2" drift
This is a dedicated big game bullet that will do the job with shots into the vitals. No need for the risky head/neck shot. Meat damage will be minimal.
This is what I would do.
