[QUOTE="Stgraves260, post: 1690948, member: 19988"] You need to know the min FPS for the bullet to expand. Berger bullets are 1300 FPS. Hornady SST are like 1600 - 1800 FPS so you will loose quite a bit of range. Now you will have to study your animals. How many ft-lbs energy does it take to break the shoulder of an animal. 600 for white tail. 800 for mule deer size game, 1000 for elk and 1200 for moose. [/QUOTE]
