I shoot a .300 Weatherby and I'm currently using Hornady factory ammo that's loaded with the 180gr Interlock projectile at a reported 3140fps - but my brutally honest chronograph suggests that they're doing a fraction over 3000fps.
Is this too fast for the 180gr Interlock on elk sized game?

Cheers,

Here's your thread (and only 2 years old, too!)


FWIW, here's what Hornady has to say:

Controlled expansion with deep penetration.
Recommended muzzle velocity range: 2000 to 3300 fps
