[QUOTE="Tumbleweed, post: 955780, member: 9281"] 1500 ft/lbs has been the number I've felt comfortable with based on experience and the good old rule of thumb that says twice the animals weight for kinetic energy. I use a RUM with a Berger 230 at a muzzle velocity of 3250fps. We are at sea level but that still puts that 1500ft/lbs of energy way out there. I am always willing to adjust my numbers some based on the experiences of others and that's what I'm looking for here:) [/QUOTE]
