[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 332976, member: 13632"] I've shot a pile of does with a 22-250 out to ranges where they are running 600-800 ft lbs of energy [B]but[/B] all that energy was delivered to vital organs. If you don't deliver energy to the vitals you need to make that up with larger bullets to get the wound channel needed to do a good job. A ballistics calculator will give you the same energy specs for a FMJ round as a V-max however only one will deliver the available energy, so it really boils down to common sence do the math to see what you have to work with then look at bullet construction to see that it is going to deliver the goods in the manner your looking for.
