[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 490249, member: 24624"] Ethical is something we don't discuss in this forum. As others stated, there are too many variables to say for sure. However, I often use 1800 fps and 1000 ft-lbs for whitetails as a quick rule of thumb. Most bullets will perform at that rate although, some are on the verge of not expanding. I beleive Berger will perform at slightly lower impact velocities and Barnes requires a little more. Having said that, damage to vital organs is the ONLY thing that matters. -- richard [/QUOTE]
