    I still had impressive wound channel on nanny Tahr @705y launched at 2750 (I shan't be repeating that in anything other than perfect conditions)

    Your range limit with 168s out of 308 is more dictated by wind(the slightest breeze) and abillity to accuratly land the shot than impact velocity.
