Not an expert in any of those platforms so this may be a bit too elementary, but instead of looking at a 1930's work (which doubtless was a great one for its day, and still might be useful), for today's fmj's usually flat based or slightly boat-tail, why not use available ballistics and look for a point where ke falls below some minimum... for a 16" grendel like mine with 123 bullet (admitted a match-type eldm), 2410 ft/s, the above-mentioned threshhold of 538 comes at 730-735 yds; around 24-25 MOA drop however...
A 0.450 bc- fmj would be 650 yds, 20-21 MOA drop.
no opinions on whether that terminal load has enough "stopping power", probably wounding is more like it...
