Muzzle Velocity[edit]

2400fps with a 900gr bullet is maximum for a 600 Overkill with a 26" barrel. I owned one for 10 years. 2800fps is attainable with 750gr bullets. 3000fps with a 1000gr bullet is simply not possible with the 600 Overkill. 70.119.28.22 (talk) 22:12, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

These specs are extremely incorrect and not just this article.[edit]

Bullet diameter - 15.7 in? Overall length 8 feet? I don't know if this was a mistake by a bot that did conversions wrong or what. Just two among almost all listed specifications. This isn't the first ammunition page where I've seen this either. It should be 15.7 mm for bullet diameter, not 15.7 inches so that is an example point of where mistakes begin at initial incorrect values that lead to incorrect conversions. I have never used bots on Wikipedia so I have no idea really how to mass correct these pages that are incorrect, but when I get time I can come back and fix them manually though. Edit: 10 April 2024, This was much easier than I thought just had to set a value. (talk) 12:42, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
