[QUOTE="Eaglet, post: 167400, member: 3756"] bwaites, James Jones already answered that! Here's the quote. I come from a place where people would use a single shot 22 long range to kill deer at around 25, 30 yards to [B]SURVIVE[/B]. Very rarely they would loose a dear, it was a survival thing and a single .22 cartridge was too expensive. Now, compare the energy of them old days ammo, maybe 80 ft-lb from a 0.224 Dia. to 500 ft-lb from a 0.308 Dia.... The least I could do was give James Jones the +1. :) Respectfully, yes! 500 ft-lb is enough energy for a quick kill on anything that lives from deer to coyotes and from coyotes to varmints. Great for antelopes! Of course, the shooter has to do his job and do it well! [/QUOTE]
