[QUOTE="fiftybmg, post: 1902917, member: 96316"] Every hunting bullet has it's minimum impact velocity for expansion as per the manufacturer, it's usually around 1850 fps. The muzzle velocity is not the correct velocity to use to determine suitablility of a bullet. The velocity of the bullet at the distance you are hunting is the right velocity to use. There are calculators that can give you how fast a bullet is still travelling when it is a certain distance from the muzzle. Calculate how far the bullet is from the muzzle when it is at the minimum velocity for expansion, and you have your practical hunting range limit. [/QUOTE]
