    Factory Tikka t3x elite .270 with the 20" barrel gets 2800 fps with factory Hornady 145gr eldx which the two longest shots have been 693 yards and 680 yards. 1 made it about 15 metres and the other flopped on the spot.
    Loaded up some 140gr bergers which are doing 2900 fps. That isn't a max load either just the more accurate load.
    You wouldn't catch me using a magnum for 300 yards. Extra boot, bigger suppressor. I shoot comfortably out to 500 yards with my 16" barrel .308 and many are doing the same range with 7mm08s and 6.5s.
