My scopes tend to be mounted a bit further back than what you have there. The distance from butt to trigger is about 350mm (10mm shorter than you) but the scope is 250mm from the butt, so about 2"...

1000 Ftlbs is a nice guide. But to be honest knowing at which impact speeds your bullet of choice works is more important. Ie most solid copper bullets require 2000+ fps at impact, whereas something...
