[QUOTE="goodgrouper, post: 86053, member: 2852"] The 3 bullets stack up as follows: I usually hunt elk at about 9000 ft so everything is calculated for that. All calcs done by Exbal. Please realize also that I don't believe ft/lbs are the sole thing that kills. It is just one way of comparing bullets. 300 mk at 2800 fps at 1500 yds velo= 1665 tof=2.08 seconds energy=1846 moa up=41.75 250 scenar @ 3100 fps at 1500 yds: velo=1756 tof=1.9 seconds energy=1711 moa up=35.25 225 accubond @3300 fps at 1500 yds: velo=1638 tof=1.9 second energy=1341 moa up=34.50 Now at 9000 ft and at 1 mile (1760 yards) 300 mk at 2800 fps velo=1500 tof=2.57 energy=1499 moa up=53 250 scenar @ 3100 fps velo=1566 tof=2.4 seconds energy=1360 moa up=45.75 225 AB at 3300 fps velo=1422 tof=2.45 seconds energy=1010 moa up =45.75 As you can see, all three bullets will kill elk AND break the shoulder blade at both distances going solely off kinetic energy which I will say again is not the only thing that kills. From more than a dozen kills at long range (600 yards to over 1000) I have come up with my own personal theory that it takes only 800 ft/lbs to break the shoulder blade of a full grown elk. THis number has been backed up by other members of the board in their own calculations and one other gun writer that I know of. Given this info, I have deduced that all three bullets should get the job done (if the consruction of them works) at one mile <font color="blue"> [i] <u>IF</u> I choose to shoot that far.[/i] </font> [/QUOTE]
