[QUOTE="Koda_, post: 3067253, member: 121268"] Ive heard the common minimum energy requirements were determined in the 1940s by Townsend Whelen, an accomplished big game hunter and prolific writer of guns and hunting of that day. The US Fish and Game was in its infancy and probably referred to literature from respected sources like Whelen, my guess is however the energy values were arrived at, bullet technology of that day played a large role in why they are so high. People still use them today because, my guess is that no one has done further testing because current values are overkill... (IMO) that is, it works. [/QUOTE]
