[QUOTE="bomberodevil, post: 1972486, member: 23175"] A lot of people consider 1000 ft/lbs of kinetic energy to be the minimum amount of power to humanely kill a deer. If you believe this, then the yardage to make this shot is dependent on your load and velocity. The chart I attached figures a 142 grain bullet with a MV at 2700 (which is a pretty conservative speed). That load will maintain at least 1000 ft/lbs of KE out to 700 yards. That would be a good baseline for you. [URL unfurl="true"]https://ronspomeroutdoors.com/blog/new-zealand-6-5-creedmoor-tests/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
