HOW far will 7mm 168 gr remain stable in flight????

HOW far will 7mm 168 gr remain stable in flight????

Found a good 7 Rem VLD load but may be limited because avg MV is 2864 with Berger 168 VLD Hunting bullets.

I would need some math help to know how far it will shoot and still be stable in flight so that a yardage knob can be calcuated for it.

JBM ballistics is a great resource: http://www.jbmballistics.com/

It predicts your 168 will remain supersonic out to 1300 yards. After that it may or may not remain stable, it is difficult to predict. I'm pretty sure 1300 yards is well beyond the envelope you are thinking about so you're good to go...
