Just out of curiosity...........

Could somebody run the numbers for me and see how far out the 300WSM should kill game.Lets say a minimum impact speed of 1500 fps,27" barrel, and Match Kings, or A-Max.
Somebody probably already knows the answer to this from real world hunting.
Thanks.

Well, I am not sure what kind of game or what bullet, but if you use a 178 AMAX at 3000 FPS at standard air it will have about 1500 FPS at 975 yards. That is also about 900 FPE.

300WSM
175 gr Matchking 3100 fps

925yards = 1504 fps and 879 ft lbs. of energy

210gr JLK......2850fps......1050 yards....1525fps......1085 ftlbs
