[QUOTE="UplandFreak, post: 1869981, member: 111854"] This is just an arbitrary number - there is nothing magical about 1200ft lbs or 1500ft lbs of energy. Somebody somewhere decided that was the standard, but there is nothing to back those numbers up. Min velocity required for your chosen bullet to expand is what we use. Plus if you run the numbers with a 140 or 147 eldm at 10000ft elevation you would be surprised how much velocity and energy they retain. Elk aren’t hard to kill. [/QUOTE]
