[QUOTE="The Oregonian, post: 1657370, member: 51405"] For an elk the number I have seen thrown about most is 1500 ft/lbs of energy. But like has been said, your skill is the deciding factor. I had an elk hunt last year and my max range was 500-600 depending on wind conditions and rest...that number was derived by where I could reliably and consistently hit at the range. I was comfortable at the range farther than that but I’m not going to push things on game. The rifle was a 28N and could deliver enough energy well past that but my max range was independent of the rifle. [/QUOTE]
