RE: Very interesting
I think one thing that is being overlooked too is foot pounds of energy at 300 yds. I just ran the ballistics on the 300 grain SST and at 300 yards (muzzle velocity 1800 fps) is 845. I've always been told to use 1000 fps for deer. I did take a caribou with an Encore at 225 yards with a 300 grain SST with 110 grains of T7 this summer. With the crosswind, I probably had 12-15" of bullet drift. I held just over the top of the back and hit about 8" down from the spine. Hit the caribou in the lungs, great passthru shot but had it been a whitetail, it would have been gut shot!
