[QUOTE="fiftybmg, post: 1903446, member: 96316"] You keep looking for an energy number before you have the ballistic data, as if you could extrapolate the latter from the former. Go the other way, which is much easier . Get the observed and verified ballistic data and calculate the energy. It may be the same point is being viewed from opposite sides. For example, if a hunter says he took an elk broadside at 1200 yards, clean kill, heart shot, using a 130 grain ELDX from a 6.5 Creedmoor. There is enough info there to calculate the energy. And don't believe everything people post on the internet. There is a ton of data on this forum, where people have specified the range at which game was taken, what game it was, and the load they used. Parse it, filter the minimum energies and there's your answer. [/QUOTE]
