[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 267935, member: 11717"] There are a lot of opinions on the range of hunting cartridges. Some use KE. As I mentioned earlier, I use the minimum opening velocity of a particular bullet to get terminal performance and for larger game like elk I like to see a minimum of 40 lbft of momentum also. IMO, 700 yds for the 308 on deer is the limit and less for elk. It also depends on the load/velocity, bullet, elevation, etc. [/QUOTE]
