I have a few more I hope you guys can help me with. It seems the Sciroccos numbers are close but how does it expand at low impact velocities.

Eight hundred yards being the furthest that this bullet will retain 1000 ft/lbs, (what many consider minimum ft/lbs for deer). I'm not sure I buy into the ft/lbs of energy thing but that's ok because 800 yds is about my shooting limit right now anyway.
