[QUOTE="dhois, post: 1788115, member: 32970"] I’m probably not following the question correctly as I am not clear on this from the OP: “a cartridge reached it's limit at 900 ft. lb. of energy.” I picked up Roy Chandler’s gem, “Hunting Alaska” early on in my shooting years and adopted the preference for Momentum vs Velocity. Roy points out that Taylor’s KO formula does not square velocity in the calculation, and while it can be considered an energy calculation, I’m not sure that’s the best way to view KO. I do agree that modern (ie, available in 2019) bullet construction changes the KO recommendations quite a bit, but the answer to the forum posts asking How much Kenetic energy is needed for certain size game remains the same. My approach has been to call the bullet manufacturer and get their recommendation on minimum velocity at which they consider their round to be effective. I totally ignore KE. [/QUOTE]
