[QUOTE="Pacecount, post: 2758195, member: 93281"] If you agree that it takes 1500 FT lbs of energy to kill an elk and 1000 ft lbs to kill a mule deer…. Then the energy in large part will define how far away you can be with a given load to make an ethical kill. Ie. * 6.5 CM 143 Gr ELDX carrys enough energy to kill an elk out to 350 yards. *7mm RM 180gr VLD carry’s enough energy to kill an elk at 800 yards. With that said, energy is not.a replacement for a bad shot. If you dont put the bullet in the boiler room nothing else matters. [/QUOTE]
