[QUOTE="Hoppsing55, post: 1470483, member: 91210"] IMHO. Beyond point of impact,,, A 6.5 Creedmoor, with a muzzle velocity of 2600fps / .509bc - 140 grain ABond, will have approx 1300 ftlbs of energy at 400 yards & 1140 ftlbs of energy at 500 yards. A 7mm mag with a muzzle velocity of 3000fps / .531bc - 160 grain ABond will have approx 2080 ftlbs of energy at 400 yards & 1857 ftlbs of energy at 500 yds. I owe it to myself and the Elk, to keep a min of 1500 ftlbs of energy / 1800 fps, available at the time of impact. [/QUOTE]
