[QUOTE="woolecox, post: 293681, member: 18551"] I respectfully disagree Sir. Killing anything, elk included, has everything to with the kinetic energy delivered at a given range for a given projectile. This can be illustrated in ballistic tables as well as real world applications. For instance, an average load for a 223 Rem shooting a 55 gr. Nosler will deliver less energy at 300 yards than a 7mm Rem Mag shooting a 168 gr. VLD. And through common sense and experience we all know the 7mm will have the most killing power in the above example. That is solely attributed to energy. Pick any bullet and that bullet will perform differently at different ranges due to loss of velocity and energy. All major hunting bullet manufacturers have recommended minimum velocity/energy levels in order for their bullets to perform adequately. Read expand. Can you kill with less? Sure! If you hit it right. Recovery may be longer. What kind of engineer did you say you where? Just kidding man. :) You make a good point. [/QUOTE]
