[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 557068, member: 30902"] They are telling you that for deer or larger sized game their bullet needs to be running at a given velocity to generate 1,000ft lbs of energy when it impacts the target because that is the minimum velocity/energy required for their bullet to perform properly. Here's a simple ballistic calculator. Plug in your data and find the range at which the velocity falls to the point you break the 1,000lbs Energy limit. That is what they are telling you is your limit. [URL="http://www.biggameinfo.com/index.aspx?page=%2fbalcalc.ascx"]External Ballistics Calculator[/URL] Just plugging in some generic numbers of 2,600fps MV and .473 BC this one says your 1,000 ft/lbs energy limit is around 600yds. Berger also has a ballistics program you can simply download and we have one here you can use as well. [/QUOTE]
