[QUOTE="ATH, post: 1657276, member: 1656"] Pretty much only two considerations: 1) How far can you reliably put bullets into a circle of a diameter you consider acceptable? (I won't define this here as that is an ethical consideration and we don't debate that here) 2) What is the minimum expansion velocity of the bullet being used? Energy on target is great but not the only important consideration because it means zip if the bullet pencils through. Most jacketed hunting bullets will have lower expansion velocities than a solid copper, for example. If the range at which the bullet falls below 2 is less than 1, the answer is still 2 regardless of skill. [/QUOTE]
