[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 2533027, member: 7999"] If you are comfortable with 1300 fps impacts on game then I recommend testing your chosen bullet to be sure it does what you expect. Pretty easy test. Set up a gallon milk jug of water, at the distance where you will be down to 1300 fps, with a box of newspaper behind it. You should see the bullet perform inside the single milk jug and the newspaper is there just to stop the bullet. Getting an expanding bullet to work at pistol vel well enough for good terminal performance is a big ask. A flat front bullet like a hard cast or shotgun slug would be a better choice as they are starting out already in their terminal form. Problem is they don't fly very far. More horse power would be a better choice. My .02 [/QUOTE]
