[QUOTE="Wheatgerm, post: 694964, member: 52003"] ive been mainly an archery hunter for a long time so i agree with you that energy "somewhat" doesnt make a difference given you can still provide a devastating wound channel.. ive seen plenty of animals killed with an arrow that hits with less than 100 pounds of energy.. that being said i have also seen multiple bull elk shot 4+ times with 7mm & 300 win mags hit well in the vitals and still very much alive for a long tracking to recover. this is why i have started looking into energy. figuring if the bullet hits harder (and stays together with good expansion) it should do more damage? from my research and from what you have said i COULD have good luck with the berger, but im more likely to have better luck with the nosler given the space im working with? id like my gun to be reliable and comfortable at 800 if needed but realistically shouldnt have to shoot over 600. will the BC @ .507 be good for this range?
