[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1570744, member: 2736"] The 1500 lb energy level is only a recommended energy for Elk sized animals based on energy, and reasonable point of impact with a proper bullet. An elk can be taken with a 22 if you have the perfect shot and hit the brain but it is not recommended because the prefect shot is seldom made or presented to the hunter. Terminal velocity for a bullet is a measure of the bullets ability to perform as designed, the range is the fastest and the slowest that it should be expected to perform and realy has little to do with energy, that is a function of bullet weight, velocity and distance. So as long as your energy is in the recommended range for the animal at the distance you make the shot and Your velocity is in the recommended velocity for the bullet design you should be ok.
