[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 259235, member: 8843"] That round will be generating around 900lbs or so energy (rough guess) and thats pretty fair amount of energy , plenty enough to kill a deer providing that the bullet expands and of all the match bullets i think that the A-max is the best for expanding at lower speeds. All that said , I'd try the 178 A-max and run them a little faster , you should be able to get the 178's pretty close to 2700fps or at least run the 168's a bit faster. Theirs alot of guys that say the bullet should hold 1000lbs of energy to kill deer , I don't think thats nearly as important as the bullet performance , if the bullet expands well and will dump most of its energy then it cleanly kill game. Think about it ,if you stick a 45 ACP right up against the rib cage of a big ol'buck and shoot him he is gonna die correct? and that less than 500lbs of KE [/QUOTE]
