[QUOTE="ackleyguy, post: 2696, member: 377"] Peter, I am NOT sure that this gun will always kill this well at that range...However I would not hesitate to attempt it again. I am not at all a pundit of the Ft Lbs of energy formulas ...I think remaining velocity and resulent bullet expansion are a better indicater of the projectiles ability to humanely take a animal. One other factor that I also think plays a part in expansion is the rotational velocity of the projectile. It is a known fact that projectiles lose very little of there rotational velocity over the course of flight....at least at the ranges we will be using them in... I think this in part helps these little 6 mm pills to a large degree..Does that mean I would shoot a elk with one.....well... .yes...out to perhaps 600 yards or so and the shot would have to be perfect.. broadside,,,very little angle..but it would not be my caliber of choice by any means..just some food for thought [/QUOTE]
