It's easily possible, but the rifle has to be up to the task, the ammunition can't do it alone. I shoot 59.0 grains of IMR 4350 with either 150 grain Sierra ProHunters or 150 grain Nosler Ballistic Tips. The muzzle velocity from my rifle is just over 2900 fps. This rifle (a Featherweight Model 70) will shoot about 1 to 1.25 minutes of angle. |
