[QUOTE="MTbackwoods, post: 1902733, member: 113441"] You’re absolutely right ofbandg. And that shock wave is what I’m referring to. I know that there is no one size fits all answer. A whitetail might soak up a round from a .50 BMG at 50 yards (I’ve seen the video) and an elk may drop dead in it’s tracks from a .243 at 688 yards (I’ve seen that video too). But if we can gather the ballistic data from numerous calibers with similar bullets, I.e. Berger VLD, Hornady ELD, etc. I feel we can draw up a relatively safe conclusion based on real world data of what a minimum impact energy should be [/QUOTE]
