[QUOTE="Mountainsheep, post: 134337, member: 5875"] Eaglet, I certainly agree with your thinking on the energy requirements; with making allowance for the ”shot placement is everything” rule. My personal opinion is that in worst case scenarios the bullets should be resilient enough to inflict sufficient damage on the targeted vital organ(s). To me, a perfect bullet would be capable of penetrating the onside shoulder and the minimum would be at least sturdy enough to break onside ribs, with both cases allowing for decent expansion. I’m not exactly sure of the figures, but I think 1000 ft. lbs. For elk and 500 for deer/antelope would be more than adequate. As far as the reliability of the 100-grain, Nosler BT, I have some doubts about its effect if it hit a shoulder; but otherwise, it should be an efficient killer. JMHO Dave [/QUOTE]
