[QUOTE="35 Whelen, post: 1787468, member: 105990"] This some thing I have found a bit amusing over the years and have not been able to get an answer to. So I thought I but on hear and see what every one on here thinks. When I started reading hunting magazines in my early teens I was reading that a cartridge reached it's limit at 900 ft. lb. of energy. As time has gone by (30 + years) it has gone up. From 900 to 1000 to 1400 and now 1500. What has made the increase? I don't think the game animals have changed, and we do have better bullets. Just wondering what every one thinks on this and share your thoughts. Do we just want more power? This may all so be a good way to help some one pick a new rifle or a new hunter pick their first hunting cartridge. [/QUOTE]
