Good idea to get hard exterior and terminal ballistic data relevant to the size of cartridge being considered. We can do that by using handloads with, say, a .260 Remington, or 6.5X55, or any 6.5 mm rifle that can be loaded to the requisite velocities.
In the meantime, back to the requirements list. Are there any additional comments on the threshold and objective statements for item #1? I plan to tweak again in the next day or so.
Cheers!
