A: You can potentially obtain a point blank range of 300 yards while still retaining a ton of energy at 300 yards from firing a theoretical round in a simulated rifle. Here is how.

1. Get load data to push a 250 grain bullet at a velocity of 2,500 fps from www.reloadammo.com.
2. Get Ballistic Coefficient for 35 cal Spitzer Soft Point 250 grain bullet from www.speer-bullets.com.
3. Input data into JBM ballistics point blank range calculator .
