If I can shoot to 200m with my 300blk it basically makes all my other rifles not necessary so id better be careful not to do that haha

Yes, it also might mean that I don't need to buy another rifle! 732 ft.lb energy at 200 yards (Hornady data). Not the 1000 ft.lb that our American friends consider necessary for a clean kill and I wouldn't go chasing big reds or sambar with it, but for most other things...
