It was developed as a 200-800 yard cartridge to whoop the .223/556 butt in range and lethality, goal achieved. Keep that velocity down to get that barrel life up. A 6.5 CM running 147 eldm is the next best choice imo and big game range goes up a couple hundred yards easy. Imo

but just because the cartridge has the wind drift and the energy ability, the shooter still needs to be able to hit the vitals.... some people shouldnt shoot past 100 yards.
