[QUOTE="FEENIX, post: 1947025, member: 14204"] I agree with DSheetz! Tell us what you're "actual" load off your rifles instead. "My" unwritten rule for elk size game is 1500 FT-LBS and the minimum velocity of the bullet to expand effectively at POI. ADDED: Below is factory ammo .30-06 from HSM. "If" 1800 FPS is the minimum velocity threshold, it would look something like at my altitude ... 168 VLD = 2790 FPS/2842 FT-LBS at the muzzle; 525Y/1914 FPS/1512 FT-LBS 210 VLD = 2534 FPS/2995 FT-LBS at the muzzle; 650Y/1803 FPS/1516 FT-LBS [/QUOTE]
