[QUOTE="cajun, post: 1720278, member: 9772"] Imho there are 2 factors you should consider. Minimum expansion threshold of the bullet and having adequate KE for the bullet to penetrate the vitals. The former is published by the bullet manufacturer the second may be up for debate but 1000 ftlb has been thrown around for deer sized game. 800 is probably doable. For elk I would add 500. Now run your ballistics and see where your at. A higher bc bullet will carry that energy farther. [/QUOTE]
