If I can slow the 16.9" barrel down to 2350 fps MV,
impact velocity will be down to 1795 fps at 300 yards.
Realistic range for me to hit a deer.
Should work on deer the size of elk and moose out to that range.
Step it up to Sir Jerry's +2500 fps MV and make it a 400-yard elk and moose hammer,
404-gr Shock Hammer.
I can keep a magazine full of the 400-gr FN from CEB at 2.990" COL in the M70 WSM action,
and a buttstock carrier full of 3.220" COL Hammers for single loading.
