[QUOTE="Forcedoutage, post: 1570997, member: 108448"] I like to use the 1500 Ftlbs rule when running ballistic programs. It helps me in bullet selection. For instance, I recently loaded some 166 GR Hammer Hunters and some 165 GR North Fork Bullets in my 300 RSAUM. Both are strong bullets and penetrate great. AT elevation the Hammer Hunter will carry 1500 ftlsb to about 770 yards. The North Fork to about 625 yards. If I were going to hunt where I would expect long range shots I would take the HH. Both shoot less than 1/2". I do like to know my range and energy and this helps me and I wouldn't take a shot past where I thought I had 1500 ftlbs. Just my personal choice. [/QUOTE]
