On target velocity has a tad bit to do with killing. A .796 BC is awesome in all regards. Top performance is from Formed Lapua 30/06 brass as you simply can not wear it out with 7828 and 180's.
My old 700 RS in 280 shoots the 162g eldx at 2920 fps, 7828, Fed 210 seals the deal(unexpected) in Rem brass.
yobuck, trajectory is one thing, wind drift is another, and in your calculations, I don't think that you are using a 180 eld match in comparison to a 162. The match bullet is soft enough to expand and penetrate, and 8.75 to 9T is adequate for my elevation with 180g eldm.
