[QUOTE="Jay Kyle, post: 1005108, member: 347"] Lots of answers here, ..when I explore a new cartridge to figure out it's performance envelope I like to have a look at a couple of the old knckdown formulas just to see what they say - the one I look at first is the old Optimum Game Weight - Big Game bullets. This gives what weight animal is recommended to take based on bullet weight and impact velocity. Next the caveat.. we all know these are cude at best, lot of variables are not accounted for in the formula, yada, yada - but in the absense of any other information they're a decent starting point.
