[QUOTE="memtb, post: 2588376, member: 75451"] No one ever “knows” with absolute certainty! I do not extend my shots beyond the range at which I am assured proper bullet expansion, energy does not even enter the equation! The shots must be within my shooting abilities! Then, unless absolute “dead calm” or nearly so, my shots are also limited to my ability as a shooter. I have no qualms about shooting steel or paper in less than ideal atmospheric shooting conditions….but, am much more conservative when big game is involved! I do not trust my “wind doping” expertise when shooting game! Last but not least, my “gut feeling”! If I feel uneasy…..I’ll pass on the shot! A wounded and potentially lost animal is simply not worth the risks! JMO! memtb [/QUOTE]
