[QUOTE="ladebenken, post: 1720366, member: 75835"] Well, my answer to the question is: The distance you can hit a 10" target every f.. time. Divide this distance in half and you have a safe distance to shoot at animals. If the question was about the pure performance of the cartridge, its about how much mv, which bullet and so on. I use 6,5 on roe deer, and red deer/stag. On red deer my max distance is about 6-700 yards in ideal conditions. I use 147gr eld-m. Before i used nosler ablr 142gr. The bullets do not exit when i hit the shoulder at over 450 yards. On roe deer my max distance is about 400 yards, the vitals is only about 6" so its smal. Are you using thougher bullets like 140gr AB, its about you hitting the target, and the bullet to retain over 1800fps when hitting, it will do the job. When we talking pure penetration, energy is a bad way to describe ability to penetrate. The formula for energy in Joule is: mass * velocity * velocity. A far better decription of a bullets ability to penetrate is what we in scandinavia call "mass speed" The formula for this is: mass * velocity The point is that a heavier bullet will penetrate much better than a lighter bullet, even if it has the same amount of energy. In norway moose/reindeer/red deer cartridges must have over 2200 J / 155grain or 2700 J / 140grain bullet. at 110 yards. [/QUOTE]
