[QUOTE="WyoTex, post: 3070195, member: 69750"] I read the terminal ballistics paper, great share btw, and I agree with the writer on the fact that the shooting world, while generally aware of the physics, really don't have the depth of knowledge to make any accurate assumptions/conclusions based on a single factor being the 'Golden Chalice' of how much is enough. Several have touched on this by bringing bullet selection, and different levels of energy based on the size of the animal into the discussion. I don't feel like you can have too much, but certainly there is an argument for too little. Frankly, there are far too many factors to consider to come up with an answer that is universal for any given situation. What I do like seeing in these responses is folks setting personal limits on how much is enough. 1,500ft/lbs may be more than enough to get the job done, but it's better than not enough. Interesting responses, and food for thought. JK [/QUOTE]
