Get them going 2650-2700 and you will easy have enough grunt to 600y aslong as you have the skill to place the proj in the right spot
If there going 2700fps you will have 1021ft-lbs at 750y and impact velocity of 1608fps
So if you limit to 600 your sweet

The numbers stack up, you've just got to have to skill to go with it. 500y is plenty for me these days

I agree with Smiddy to an extent....what you have could do it with the right load but in the context of the highlighted text I think not.

if I wanted to be reliable at 600yrds Even the best shot/wind speaker is not "reliable" at 600y.....that is BIG magnum and lots of practice to be "reliable" not dirty old six or 284 country.

On a side note, remember your 1st shot hit on the 300y gong with .303 subsonic open sights, resting on your lap fuck that was impressive
