[QUOTE="Sevy, post: 1787617, member: 95968"] I think the reason you haven’t ever gotten a straight answer is because it isn’t written somewhere in black and white like a rule. It’s more of a personal preference. I think a person needs to take into account bullet construction and their ability to make a good shot rather than a number value. A .22 lr would kill an elk if you hit it in the right place and it penetrates. When discussing ft lbs of energy I believe we are discussing the “shock” of the hit rather than the placement. If the bullet will penetrate the hide than it will kill the animal, assuming it is hit in the right spot. With that said I think JE Custom got it right with the numbers. That’s why the lack of straight answer in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
