    7mm or 30 cal with a reasonably heavy pill will be sweet out to 600-700 yards.
    Just cut my 300 wsm down to 18”, shooting 168 AMAX doing 2850 fps. That tops out at smack on 700 yards if you’re going off the 1000ft/lb theory. 600-700 yards is a bloody long way for the average shooter
    GWH, Micky Duck and stagstalker like this.
