[QUOTE="cohunt, post: 1530947, member: 94491"] I read your post, now read mine---you can't just pick some arbitrary energy number with out knowing how the bullet will act at that distance/velocity/energy according to your "new look on things" ( just using an arbitrary energy number) a 150 gr FMJ bullet at a certain speed would have the same "set back distance" as a 150 grain varmint bullet, or 150 grain wfn hard cast lead bullet, or a 150 grain monolithic bullet as long as they all had the same muzzle velocity and BC--etc--etc --also SD doesn't mean a darn thing once the bullet deforms--once again it comes back to bullet construction--people handgun hunt all the time and most handgun cartridges ever reach the 1000 let alone 2000 ft lbs for your comparisons--I feel your "set back" should be based on bullet construction and accuracy limits bullet construction should be your first choice before determining anything else IMO, to each is own I guess [/QUOTE]
