By the way, here’s a good intro to exterior (in flight) bullet ballistics for you, including some mathematically background on the subject:

One of the things I like to point new hunters to is the “point blank range” comparison in this article between the .300WM and the .308:

See how little difference there is in the real world, on a real animal (eg, deer)?

The deer won’t know the difference. Your wallet, however, will.

Thanks! That will be a big help. I was at Nosler looking up their load info and trying to get a handle on some things. I appreciate your help.

Good point on the .300 vs. .308.
