Your shooting elevation will have a lot to do with the max range a bullet will be supersonic at a given velocity. LRRPF52 shooting at 6000+ feet elevation in Utah will be supersonic quite a bit further than I will at 600 and 1400 ft on the ranges I shoot on, and ROE that shoots at about sea level it will be shorter yet. Try one of the online ballistic calculators like JBM or even the one on the Hornady web site in the advanced options, both are pretty good for retained velocity and trajectory. There are many others out there and apps for your phone (one from Litz is real nice).
For how altitude affects velocity me shooting the load I listed above for the 130gr hybrid at 2500fps it is supersonic at 1100 yards at 600ft elevation and at 6000ft it is still supersonic at 1350 yards.
Your ides on the Magazine might work, being it is single stack stretching it out in the middle might work. Now you have me thinking.
