[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 1460787, member: 13833"] I've never been a big believer in ft/lbs as the determining factor except it needs to be enough to open the bullet reliably. This is especially true at long range where if you have enough velocity/energy to cause the bullet to perform properly, you are likely fine. Tissue damage by tearing And leaving a sizeable hole is what kills most animals. (Hemorrhage) in other words 2000 lbs of energy penciling through is not near as good as 700 tearing a hole. Archery is a prime example. [/QUOTE]
