The velocity at 55.0 is 2700fps.
It's my first time loading for this cartridge, I'd like to use it for whitetail buck this year, Southern Alberta prairies, where 300 yards or more isn't uncommon. Typically I use a .25-06, .243 or 7RM.
My question is, in your experience with the .30-06, is this fast enough?

Yes
