[QUOTE="Sully2, post: 559095, member: 31820"] I kinda go along with your parameters and here's why. At 500yd the bullet you talked about has approx 950 ft lbs of energy. A 44 Mag at the muzzle has a little over 800 ft lbs. Although not my FIRST CHOICE of hunting weapons, there isnt many "critters" Id run from if armed with a .44. Humans are basically easy to kill if hit by a bullet, whereas with animals one SHOULD seek a QUICK and humane death; hence high energy delivered. The biggest of the big critters that cant eat me ( Alaska moose, etc) Id surely want to be closer. [/QUOTE]
