I shoot 220-250gr lead bullets loaded to 1050fps in several

300BLK rifles. Very quiet through a 30cal centerfire can. The thing that will surprise the unsuspecting is how much velocity that 220gr Lyman 311284 lead pencil retains at 300yds, and how hard it spanks steel.

It does drop more that most modern rounds making range estimation a serious requirement - a 100yd zero needs +9.4 mils at 300yds (935fps), and +20.1 mils at 500yds (878fps). All this makes for an interesting shooting session! Numbers from Strelok Pro, validated on the range from a Ruger American.
