[QUOTE="Damage Inc., post: 2457850, member: 29754"] That wasn’t the question…. The question was about how much “energy” it takes to kill an elk. So the response was very appropriate. Killing stuff isn’t about “energy”, it’s about holes in vital organs. A 55 grain .223 load puts out more “energy” than a 240 solid cast bullet out of a .44 Mag. (1265 fpe vs. 1160 fpe). Which would you rather have vs. elk shoulder at 50 yards? Terminal ballistics is cornucopia of energy and momentum and bullet construction and shot placement. No one “stat” will tell us what we need to know. [/QUOTE]
