[QUOTE="JPaul17, post: 596459, member: 40536"] One thing I go by rather than energy or speed look at the expansion. I've found in my .243 that sometimes when your in close the bullets just dont open up which is ultimately what determines how far or short the animal goes (assuming shot placement is good). I use Hornady 95gr. SST's and I've shot two deer inside of 100yds and both deer ran a good 50 yds. because the bullet just went strait through. But my deer at 225 droped in her hoove prints. I think its more important to see how the bullets expand at different distances and fit the bullet for where you hunt. [/QUOTE]
