[QUOTE="Caveman0101, post: 1699169, member: 10852"] IMHO, I think 1000 is good, but today's bullets are designed to perform down to a given velocity so I pay more attention to that. The only elk I've ever lost was shot with a 30'06 at less than 100 yards, shooting bullets that performed well in deer but not so much for elk. I'm sure those bullets delivered much more energy but did not get the job done. I started using partitions and accubonds and solved the problem, but when my son's came of age we started shooting rifles with less recoil and all they have done is drop elk where they stand time after time and frankly, I haven't taken my magnums out of the safe in several years, no need to. Bullet placement is far more important than velocity, energy or anything else, so if you shoot what you can hit the right spot with everything else will do its job. [/QUOTE]
