[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 755244, member: 2736"] As I have said before. I limit my shots on big game to a combanation of minimum recomended energy for a given animal or bullet design minimum velocity or both. So if I wanted to kill Elk beyond 1500 yards I would use the 300 grain at a higher velocity than 3000 ft/sec. To get an impact energy of 1500 ft/lbs you would have to push the 300 grain bullets to 3300 ft/sec just to shoot 1600 yards. (Tough to get). There is no doubt that less energy will kill an Elk but 1500 ft/lbs is my lower limit. (Note: this is with a traditional shot placement) not a head or neck shot. Pigs are a different thing. I will try and hit them at any distance Just to make them squeal. For targets or gongs these velocities are not required and distance is what ever I can hit with reasonable consistency.
