[QUOTE="Joefrazell, post: 1531001, member: 101262"] I'd take a good hit with 1000 ft lbs over a bad hit with 2k. My point is to just be proficient with what you choose and however far you plan to hunt. Ve got a friend who killed a bull at 932 this season and it was with a 143eldx with around 700 ft lbs of energy left on target. Bull took a few steps and collapsed. bullet hit perfectly behind the shoulder and was found mushroomed beautifully on far sidea of hide. I say he's very very lucky. Also this was his first time shooting that rifle or anywhere near the distance. He was very lucky and says it was skill. O and I asked where he aimed and he said he aimed hi (when the guy he was with dialed) lol! He was very fortunate and so was the bull to not have suffered a bad hit. But my point is if you put it in the right spot it works. [/QUOTE]
