[QUOTE="memtb, post: 2751128, member: 75451"] A big “negatory” there partner! Let’s use as an example a nice, fat, wide metplat 500 grain .458 moving at a very low fps (let’s just say 1200 fps) …..it only has approximately 1600 ft/lbs energy. But that big, heavy, flat nosed bullet will very likely “full length” an elk…..breaking a lot of important stuff while it ”rumbles” along it’s journey! 🤔 The elk will be much more impressed by several feet of damaged organs than with the 1600 ft/lbs energy! 😉memtb [/QUOTE]
