Thread: 300wsm killing range?

I run a 20 inch barrel on my 300wsm.Using 178 elf-x at 2950fps.Shoot gongs at 800 yards with 1256ft lbs of energy so still capable of further.I only shoot animals out to 500 tho as that’s what I feel comfortable of a good clean kill.If you are going to try longer ranges,practice on paper and gongs before the real thing
