[QUOTE="del2les, post: 2828060, member: 9299"] Exactly! Even 4,000ft/lbs mean nothing if it doesn't reach the vitals. Several of us have had this discussion over the years, as many, many game and dangerous game animals, including cape buffalo, have been taken with handguns that have far less energy at the muzzle than many rifle rounds do on downrange impact. Geez, just my lowly 357Mag is a great example, for often with my handloads, it shoots through deer and most large hogs. The 44mag revolvers with my 255 to 300gr casts go completely through the sides of elk. [/QUOTE]
