[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 523121, member: 30902"] If I have to pick between energy and precision I'll gow with precision every time. You are right on the edge of lethal energy with this rig but if you can put it right in the heart/lungs it will kill easily at that range. Your problem is going to come at the 600-700yds range if you striker bone prior to getting into the thoracic cavity with your shot. At closer ranges I'd say you need to go with a good hunting bullet but the vld's like the Berger will perform very well for you at the greater ranges. Beyond 400yds your velocities will have dropped enough that even with a bone/shoulder type hit the round should stay together instead or shelling out shallow. [/QUOTE]
