[QUOTE="Shane Lindsey, post: 3035904, member: 25831"] Whatever range you can consistently hit a cold bore shot (and a follow up if you like) into the vital zone of hunted animal. By the ft lbs logic mentioned, many loads are leaving alot on the table with the 1500 ft lb rule. For instance a 140 Berger starting at a mere 2938 FPS, gives up that ghost according to this at around 525 yards, yet the manufacturer states 1800 FPS for function, which occurs at about 850 yards. Last time I checked ammo manufacturers don't put minimum energy requirements for function on boxes...just sayin [/QUOTE]
